TEDxSydney 2010 happened at CarriageWorks on Saturday 22 May and featured a selection of Australia's leading visionaries and storytellers showcasing their Ideas Worth Spreading LIVE to a group of thinkers ... as well as ONLINE to the world at large. Here are some of the videos. We are uploading more talks as they become ready. Please keep checking back for more!
Our vision for TEDxSydney is an event that’s even bigger and broader than the Ideas Worth Spreading you’ll see on the main stage.
The interest in TEDxSydney has been overwhelming and it’s literally not possible to contain within the four walls of the Bay 17 theatre space at Carriageworks.
But you’re still invited! Come along on Saturday 22 May to be part of a special live community event in the CarriageWorks foyer, produced for us by The Chaser’s Julian Morrow, that we’re calling the TEDxSydney Forum.
The Forum will be:
+ open to everyone
+ free, and
+ a unique opportunity to experience TEDxSydney and interact with the speakers, as well as
+ a standalone program of thought-provoking creativity and entertainment.
During the pauses in the speaker program, the Forum stage will come alive.
The Forum program includes:
TEDxSydney starts at 9am on Saturday 22 May and runs all day. We’d love you to join us.
Today, TED Prize winner Karen Armstrong’s wish is realised as the Charter for Compassion officially launches.
The Charter is a document that has been created by thousands of people around the world. It has been developed to enable a new dialogue between the major religions and between religious and nonreligious people. See it written and spoken below, and if it speaks to you, please affirm it by adding your name via the Charter for Compassion site HERE or via the TED.com home page HERE.
Karen’s wish was that TED should create and propagate the Charter. That’s where we need your help. Email your friends, and do whatever you can on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. We would love to see thousands affirm the Charter. It’s truly an idea worth spreading.
TEDxSydney is supporting local film maker and social activist Danielle Lauren who has organised a small event that is being held at the Museum of Sydney this Sunday morning 15 November. Details HERE. It will bring together local religious, social and political leaders as they recognise and celebrate the Charter for Compassion. Let Danielle know via the Facebook page HERE if you’d be keen to attend. Any further enquiries can be directed to Danielle@TEDxSydney.com.
