There is a widespread realization that in the near future work, and working will look quite different than they do now. The requirements people have regarding work change, the way we do our work is transforming and the ways we valuate work are subject to dramatic changes. How do work and life interact in the 21st
century? What are the ways to organize both. Does our current educational
system prep
are children and students for working life? If not, should it? What is the ideal organizational form for organizations to accommodate
these changes? What is the role of the "boss" in economy 2.0? Can we learn
from Greek crisis? TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading." The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. At TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos -- or a combination of live presenters and TEDTalks videos -- sparks deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. What you'll find at every TEDx event:
- The content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed independently, but all TEDx events have several features in common.
- TED's celebrated format: A suite of short, carefully prepared talks, demonstrations and performances (live, or just TEDTalks videos from TED.com) on a wide range of subjects to foster learning, inspiration and wonder -- and to provoke conversations that matter
- TEDTalks videos: A minimum of two pre-recorded talks from the acclaimed - TEDTalks video series (these talks are available free on TED.com)
- Bias-free programming: Lack of any commercial, religious or political agenda
