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).

Paulius Staniunas

Paulius is originated from Lithuania, a tiny country in Eastern Europe. He worked at MTV as an art director until he received a scholarship to spend a year in Indonesia and China. In year 2010, Paulius participated in the Shanghai World Expo, representing Lithuania with his project called People's Republic of China. Paulius started his own photography project All Is Amazing that captures nightlife photography of Asia, especially KL, where he took photos of people in nightclubs, concerts and music events. After living In Malaysia for about three years, the 30-year-old suddenly realized he had lost the awe he first felt for Malaysia’s cultural diversity when he first arrived here. To recapture this feeling, Staniunas started the Same Same project (www.samesame.my) at the end of last year. Paulius has recorded the stories of about 30 Malaysians and recently, 30 Penangites for his exhibition at George Town Festival titled “Same Same: A Dan Lain-Lain” project.
