TEDx Spreading Ideas

TED provides innovative thinkers from around the world a platform to voice their "ideas worth spreading", and aspirations for making the future of this planet a smarter and more peaceful one, it is truly a multifaceted undertaking and requires experts and thinkers from all disciplines and backgrounds.

TEDx are self-organized local community conferences/events around the world that occur on a frequent basis. In fact, a 2010 Citizen Diplomacy Award Honoree, Jenny Buccos, founder of Project Explorer, was a featured speaker this past weekend in Soweto, South Africa. Her topic: global citizenship, definitely an idea worth spreading.

View upcoming events from all over the world on the TED website.

One event to look forward to is TEDxYouthDay 2011. Event will be taking place around the world in recognition of this day and will be themed around the topic of youth and the next generation. As a major project for this year's YouthDay, actually November 19-21, there will be a large compilation of youth from around the world stating their beliefs on how to make the world a better place.
