TEDx (x označuje neodvisno organiziran dogodek)

Obstajajo zamisli, ki jih je potrebno širiti in v tem duhu je nastal program TEDx – lokalni dogodki, ki jih organizirajo neodvisni posamezniki sami in udeležencem nudijo izkušnjo, podobno izvirni konferenci TED. Dogodki TEDx združujejo izvirne video posnetke TEDTalks in govorce v živo ter spodbujajo poglobljene razprave in povezovanje v majhnih skupinah. Te lokalne konference se imenujejo TEDx, kjer x označuje, da gre za neodvisno organiziran dogodek. Izvirna konferenca TED sicer zagotavlja smernice za program TEDx, vendar te dogodke, vključno z našim, organiziramo sami.

O organizaciji TED

TED je neprofitna organizacija, posvečena zamislim, ki jih je potrebno širiti. Organizacija je svojo pot začela kot štiridnevna konferenca v Kaliforniji in se razvila, da bi z različnimi pobudami podprla zamisli, ki spreminjajo svet. Letna konferenca TED zbere vodilne mislece in akterje z vsega sveta ter jim da priložnost, da v 18 minutah pojasnijo svoje zamisli. Njihovi govori so nato brezplačno na voljo na spletni strani TED.com. Na konferencah TED so med drugimi nastopili tudi Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende in britanski premier Gordon Brown. Vsako leto konferenca TED poteka v Long Beachu v Kaliforniji, dogodek TEDGlobal pa se odvija v Oxfordu v Veliki Britaniji. Letos bo v mestu Mysore v Indiji organizirana konferenca TEDIndia. Organizacija TED skrbi za več medijskih pobud, ki vključujejo spletno stran TED.com, na kateri se dnevno dodajajo novi govori, ter prevajalski projekt Open Translation Project, ki zagotavlja podnapise in interaktivne prepise govorov, prostovoljcem po vsem svetu pa daje možnost, da prevedejo katerikoli govor. Organizacija TED je ustanovila tudi letno nagrado, s katero trem izjemnim posameznikom, ki želijo spremeniti svet, omogoča, da te svoje želje tudi uresničijo. Pobuda TEDx omogoča posameznikom ali skupinam, da sami organizirajo dogodke po vsem svetu, program TED Fellows pa inovatorjem po vsem svetu, ki želijo spremeniti svet, pomaga vstopiti v skupnost TED in z njeno pomočjo še povečati vpliv svojih izjemnih projektov in dejavnosti.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, 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 TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK, and this November, the TEDIndia Conference will be held in Mysore, India. TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where three exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world, and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
