TEDxUTokyoSalon

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Ryohei Suzuki

He shares an idea of “positive shrinking of areas”: He talks about how we can thoughtfully shrink small villages at rural areas in Japan which suffered from rapid decrease in population. What is essential for us to decide where to live? And what do we need to enjoy a heartful life? Ryohei's idea may give some hints for such questions.
