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).

Povilas Plukas

Povilas Plukas is a learning designer who designs experiences that grow personalities and help organizations reach their learning goals. He thinks that creation of the learning space and circumstances are a form of great art. Participants in his training sessions are engaged physically, emotionally and mentally. Therefore, he sometimes takes business companies on a night hike with treasure hunting elements to improve their competences of conflict resolution. Povilas also identifies himself as a social innovator. He is full of creative ideas for social change. In his opinion, we should start all changes from our local community and empowerment of people. He is turning ideas into a reality. From hanging swings in public places of his hometown to being a co-author of the book Sexpedia for young people to rise awareness on gender issues. Sparkling with curiosity, undaunted by difficult challenges he and his co-minds want to revive the abandoned Lentvaris mansion with a historical park.
