Zwolle, Overijssel

With this TEDxZwolle we challenge our speakers to bring into their talks those moments where they failed, but which, upon reflection, helped them adapt and get to where they are now. In the broadest sense, we're bringing people together to spark conversation, change and ideas in technology, art, medical sciences, music, economics, politics, education and innovation.

Jasper is building on Nuna with 15 other students, each with their own speciality, to win the challenge on the road ahead. What they learned as a team and how rocky their road has been, you’ll find out in this talk!

Lisa van Kampen

Lisa van Kampen (22) opened Spotify in March to see how many people were listening to her music. All of the sudden she had 38.000 monthly listeners and 47.000 plays on her new song True Blue. She didn’t believe it at first but soon found out that her track was not in one but two official Spotify playlists. Her music, which she’s releasing under the moniker Great Profile, was picked up soon after and she’s now trading her bedroom, where she wrote, recorded, and produced her album, for Stone Rock Festival, Lepeltje Lepeltje, and Hedon Zwolle.

Mariah Mansvelt Beck

Mariah studied International Development Studies at Cambridge University, she worked for Doctors without Borders for years and was a yoga teacher in Amsterdam. Somehow this led her to starting up her business Yoni with one of her best friends Wendelien Hebly. Yoni sells organic cotton tampons, pads and panty liners. They aim to break the taboo surrounding menstruation and everything related and at the same time revolutionise the fem care industry.

Marion Fokkert

Marion Fokkert is an expert in laboratory related subjects of diabetology and cardiology. She believes people need to keep moving to stay fit and to decrease chances of diabetes and cardiovascular deceases. Even at her desk, she doesn’t have a chair, but instead she works on a desk bike (a bicycle without wheels), always keeping her legs moving. She’s a revolutionizer of seemingly stale and well-trodden paths of healthcare. Member of the research group Famous Triage the research focuses on the need to ease the patient experience for those patients who suffer from chest pain. Too many of these people are admitted to the hospital unnecessarily. The aim is to rule out a myocardial infarction at home with the ‘HEART score’. With her infectious enthusiasm about technically obscure medical problems, she can help us understand what the impact of research is, perhaps even on you.
