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).

Ján Hefty

cyclist

Jano mal 38 rokov, šťastnú rodinu, prácu, ktorá ho bavila. Celý život pred sebou. Jedného dňa prestal nečakane ovládať ľavú ruku. Po návšteve lekára sa dozvedel, že má diagnózu, ktorú dnešná medicína nevie liečiť. Jano hovorí o tom, ako túto správu spracoval, ako s ňou žije a ako mu jeho hobby pomáha plniť si sny a inšpirovať aj ľudí okolo seba. Jano was 38 years old, had happy family and a job he enjoyed … his whole life ahead of him. One day he could not move his left arm. After seeing a doctor he got the news that he suffers from a currently untreatable diagnosis. Jano talks about how he processed this news, how he lives with his disease and how his hobby helps him to follow his dreams and inspire people around him.
