TED is a nonprofit
devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18
minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology,
Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from
science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.
Meanwhile, independently
run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
One of such events
is the TEDx Bodija, coming up on the 18th October, with the theme:

community’s development will not depends on the global trend but on the
exposure of the community members to global ideas.
