Theme: Challenges

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).

Adam Hogue

Student

I am a student of I LO in Olsztyn. I have recently moved from the US state of California to this beautiful part of Poland. Public speaking has always been a passion of mine and I believe that it serves as a challenge leading to growth and opportunity.

I am a 16 year old trans man from Ukraine. I arrived to Poland in March 2022, and have lived here since.

Caleb West

Student

I'm a 17 year old Polish-American living in Olsztyn and IB Student. I've always been interested in music, computer science, astronomy, physics and other nerd stuff. I have the privilege of being born in two cultures: American and Polish. And while my life is in Poland, my heart is still in San Antonio, Texas.

Filip Gmurkowski

Student

There isn't anything of large significance to be said here. I was born in Olsztyn and ever since I can remember I loved living here. I'm a high school student, who loves to explore his own mind in search of intriguing ideas that could hopefully come to life one day and impact the world around me. I also dream of moving to Warsaw one day.

Jakub Cichmiński

Student/Musician

My name is Kuba and first of all - I'm not a speaker, but an artist. Piano has been a part of my life for more than 10 years and I can't imagine living without it. I performed Fryderyk Chopin's Etude op.25 no.1 during the TedTalk, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful pieces of this composer. Outside of music, I attend maths&physics class. Also, I've been playing tennis for 9 years. Having many interests, I try to take care of each of them.

Self-advocates for disabled and mentally ill rights while also standing for fellow people in all sorts of disadvantaged situations.
