Believing that the steps between now and making change are as close to us as a simple phone call. From the moment we realise the smallest attitude change can actually make a difference, is the moment we start to move in the right direction. The snowball effect of our positive actions start by our own believe in its value. I would like to share the Fawaka Ondernemersschool (https://www.fawakaondernemersschool.nl/). It is an initiative that provides free quality education for children in less fortunate neighbourhoods in the Netherlands to learn about sustainability, entrepreneurship and how to act responsibly to people and environment. I believe one of the key elements that will lead us to a better future, is the provision of quality education for all. Fawaka is doing it here in The Netherlands for children that otherwise would have hard or little access to it.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxAmsterdam, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxAmsterdam event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
We are thrilled to invite more partners on board. Please reach out to our partner team at partners@tedxamsterdam.nl
We are a hundred percent volunteer-led organisation, all our events are not subsidised and are run on the enthusiasm of our partners, collaborators and volunteers. Each year a large group of volunteers dedicate their time and energy to set up events and build our community, acting as personal ambassadors for change and innovation. With their professional knowledge and skills, our volunteers bring ideas to life behind the scenes and on the day of our events. Be Part of This!
