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).

Πangea World Music Center

The Πangea world music center was founded in just last January. Within a few months, Πangea had made a dynamic entrance into the art world, exceeding its founders’ initial goals and expectations regarding successful event planning and hosting. More specifically, the Πangea world music center is a hub that drives diversity through combining civilizational and cultural elements as they arise from music, dancing, theater, cinema, painting and every kind of artistic expression regardless of its ethnic origin. Its mission is to become a center for social interaction and cultural engagement for all of its members and especially the youth, to host artistic events beyond the bounds of isolation and exclusion, and to be accessible and affordable to everyone.
