TEDx has the power to inform and enlighten people. It is also the perfect platform to call people towards actively doing something about what they just heard. We love TEDx because of the change and movement these events bring to the local community. Here at Western Washington University, we have seen the impact that watching TED Talks has on students and the way that they perceive their education. We have seen first hand how a great Talk can change the way a student views the ownership they have for their education and how they are motivated into doing something new or different.
It's not just information, it's a call to action.
That call to action is about creating forward momentum towards initiating drive and motivation to encourage students to see what is possible for themselves and the communities they are apart of. However, it is not only their lives that will be affected. We firmly believe that if great things happens for one person, it will create a ripple effect, reaching out to their friends, community and finally the world. This is the kind of impact that TEDx has.
A maximum of eighteen minutes is all the time you need to bring this type of impact to a group of college students. TEDx is more than just talks, It’s a catalyst for movement. And movement is something the world needs more of.
