Theme: "Adaptability"

TedxViaCavour was born at the initiative of a spontaneous group of entrepreneurs, professionals, teachers and cultural animators, all volunteers. The name takes its cue from the central city street (Sassari) where the idea of organizing the event was born.

The theme chosen for this first edition of TedxViaCavour is "ADAPTABILITY. Learning to embrace change, and develop the right Adaptability to find our happiness in a changing context, overcoming the golden fences of our comfort zone to become citizens of the world. Seeking new inspirations, stepping out of known boundaries, listening to the world and listening to oneself, not lingering in one's acquired positions, continuing to walk the path of one's existence exploring even unmarked paths.
