In the olden days, Edward Norton Lorenz spoke of how in the midst of a chaotic world, we can find order. Large changes are often caused by inconspicuous and unimposing details. By observing one’s surroundings, it becomes evident that outcomes of events are sensitive to initial conditions.

We suppose that a small idea told differently can have adverse consequences, that the gentle flap of wings projects magnificent flights, that ideas we spread can leave an Impact.

TEDxUniversityofZagreb was held on the 28th of March 2015 in Forum cinema of the student dormitory Stjepan Radić, Jarunska 2 in Zagreb at 14:00. The theme of the event was Impact, which attendees felt as they listen to the spoken ideas.
