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).

Agnieszka Frankowska

Agnieszka has been working in the Therapy Workshop "Friends", in the Arts Laboratory and in the Household Laboratory for more than 17 years as an instructor. Although she experienced burnout, Agnieszka wanted to continue to work with people with intellectual disabilities. She went one step further and gave them and herself a new perspective on professional development. Therefore, together with Dominik Marszałek she established Good Social Collective (Dobra Spółdzielnia Socjalna), where she is a vice-chairperson now. The collective became most known for employing intellectually disabled people in the Good Cafe (Dobra Kawiarnia).
