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).

László Csákány

“After the high school in wood industry, I obtained a diploma in forestry and then environmental science. I thought that these two professions complement each other. Practicing the profession, I recognized the importance of the paradigm shift necessary to protect our environment. That's why I also obtained a teacher's certificate, because I consider it important to educate the younger generation about the environment. Since 2002, as the president of the Unified Commonage Sfântu Gheorghe - Szemerja and Görgő, I have been holding field and round-table lectures on the role of the forest for a wide range of society.”

Laura Popeea

I am a passionate person about people and personal development. I have had the chance to meet and interact with a lot of people and develop and evolve continuously during my 19-year old career in corporations, working in sales management, in middle management positions. In July 2018, after 4 years of volunteering in the roles of founding member and member of the Board of the Brașov Community Foundation, I have chosen to take on the role of executive director, thus benefiting from my expertise in community facilitation and development. This decision and my involvement thus far in the life of my community, gives me great meaning and fulfillment, as the impact of what I do is a Greater Good than my personal one. I am particularly attracted to fundraising, cause it means creating bridges between the needs and existing resources in each community, which may be financial, relational or know-how related.
