We believe everyone has something valuable to say that the world needs to hear. Whether based on your work, experience or observations, we want to take this opportunity to work with you to shape it into an idea worth spreading on the TEDx stage.

In the next week, we will be holding collaborative workshops online, where we work together in an accelerated format to identify, hone and develop your idea into a short TEDx Talk in an hour long session while learning the basis of TED Talks. You don’t need to have ideas before showing up - just your curiosity! If you’re unsure about coming, do it anyway!

Afterwards, around 20 speakers will be selected to finalize and rehearse their scripts during the months leading up to our 2021 event. They will be presented in a virtual event hosted by TEDxEmilyCarrU and published on the TEDx YouTube channel, one of the most watched in the world. The talks will also be considered to feature on TED’s official website, TED.com.

Schedule:

Workshop 1: November 17, 7:00pm-8:00pm

Workshop 2: November 18, 4:00pm-5:00pm

Workshop 3: November 19, 7:00pm-8:00pm
