At a TEDxevent, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDxprogram, but individual TEDxevents are self-organized. TEDx is part of a revolution in global education made possible by local organizers wanting to engage their communities. Every week, in multiple cities, people are coming together to pursue ideas worth spreading. 230 TEDxEvents have happened in 2009 25 Languages 80 Countries ------------------------------------ www.tedxyouthjum.com @TEDxYouthJum |
