ABOUT TEDx
TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, ‘ideas worth spreading’. The programme is designed to give communities, organisations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. TEDx events are fully planned and co-ordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. All videos found in this section have previously appeared in the Major MindStylers section on the frontpage of my website. Enjoy.
