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).

Felix Draisma

My name is Felix, I am 16 years old and live in Bussum. I am a big fan of reading, drawing, acting and all the arts in general. As for hobbies, I like active sports as I find much pleasure in skating-boarding, soccer, dancing etc. I am also a typical Mr. talk-a-lot, and am not afraid of a debate about a topic I’m interested in.

Kristina Roll

My name is Kristina Roll, but regardless of my name not sounding so, I come from Russia. I have lived in the Netherlands for 4 years now and I'm planning to stay. My whole life I have been interested in visual arts, so any person I know can classify me as "the artsy one" My biggest dream is to become a great visual artist, and hopefully bring people together with my art. However I don't take myself too seriously, and you can always see me use an opportunity for a joke if there is one.

Maansi Masupatri

My name is Maansi. My topic is about the Mental Health stigma that is created by the society and how any change to that will make the lives of the people suffering with mental health issues a lot easier.

Maitreyee Bhaid

I’m 13 years old as of now, but will be turning 14 soon. I am going to be talking about meditation. I’ve recently been exposed to meditation, and even at a relatively young age, I found the effects of it very useful in both my school and social life. I want to show people how meditation could be useful in their lives.

Vivianne Bollee

Although Vivianne may look like a typical Dutch girl with blue eyes and blonde hair, her real identity by no means reflects the expectations created. Her attitude towards technology is what differs in particular. She considers herself one of the very few able to outsmart a dangerous spider we know as social media, and explores this metaphors by drawing parallels between the modern world and dystopian literature.
