Theme: Crossing Borders

This year TEDxApeldoorn wants to discover with you what borders mean to you. With the theme Crossing Borders, 10 inspiring speakers take us into the world of their borders. Personal borders, national borders, technological borders, natural borders. They are there, we know them. But do we stick to it? Or are we bravely venturing across the street? We invite you to look at "the other side" on March 22, 2019. The side that is still unknown, and therefore perhaps unloved. The side that seems exciting, and therefore not loved. The side that secretly pulls you very hard, you only need one final push.

Are you ready to cross that border with us?
