TEDxEQChCh

Material relating to a Transitional Cities project, titled 'TEDxEQChCh'. The project description reads:

TEDxEQChCh was an independent event operated under licence from TED. 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. This event was called TEDxEQChCh, where x = independently organized TED event. At this event, TEDTalks videos and live speakers combined to spark deep discussion and connections. The first Christchurch TEDx event was TEDxChCh in October 2010; in May 2011 the team held the first TEDxEQChCh, focused on the future of post-quake Christchurch.TEDxEQChCh brings together leading local, national and global thinkers and doers for a day like no other: To encourage wonder and exploration, to connect possibility with practicality, to lift our vision from the rubble of our daily reality and point it towards the vision of our shared future. To provoke, remind, delight, uplift, inform, and inspire. TEDxEQChCh and all TEDx events are run on a non-moneymaking basis.
