Here’s some basic information concerning the event:

WHAT IS TEDX?
TEDx are independent events, organised on the license from the TED organisation. The main concept behind them all is spreading ideas among local communities.

WHY ARE WE ORGANISING TEDXYOUTH@JAGIELLONKA?
We have been inspired by the countless TED videos we watched and discussed at school – they spread valuable knowledge and we feel infinitely honoured being able to be part of this amazing project. We are hoping to create an interesting and thought-provoking event.
Moreover, we want to introduce our city to the TEDx world as this is the first ever TEDx event in Płock.
