Theme: Bring your own

We are happy to announce that TEDxStareMiasto will be a one-day event full of sharing ideas, stories and inspirations in the lovely city of Wroclaw, Poland. Save the date for December 4, 2011!TEDx has always been about sharing ideas, and it didn’t take us long to figure out what we want to share about Wroclaw – the diversity of this place. Known by many names, populated by many nations and home to many international companies (and many gnomes!), it is the one of the most vibrant cities in Central Europe.

We want to dive deeper into what diversity means, what challenges it brings, and how it can influence our culture. Of course it won’t be the same without you. If you’re as excited about TEDxStareMiasto as we are, go ahead and register right now! Or give us a shout if you want to help out with the organization.

We’re still a bit of a work-in-progress, but soon we’ll start with the updates on our speakers and the programme. So stay tuned – and if you don’t want to miss anything, follow us on Facebook and twitter.

Yours,
the organizers.

Dorota Mołodyńska-Kuntzel

She combines the impossible: crazy passion and enthusiasm with impeccable professionalism. A fighter, a leader, a mother and a great speaker, Dorota will share the story of her project "The living library" and will challenge you to challenge your stereotypes. "What can a Human Library do to you?" is the question Dorota will ask you after sharing her love story with the project. "I'll share from the perspective of an organizer of Human Library in Wrocław how this method, shifting from personal to political action, turned my life upside down. And why I kind of liked it."

Marek Karabon

Attentive to details, pushing for the big picture, fact-oriented like an analyst and passionate about his views like révolutionnaire, Marek has a dream: to make his city a better place. And he's making it happen, along with other enthusiasts and supporters. Challenging the status quo, he's encouraging us to think of how we benefit the places we live in and whether we're doing the smartest way we can. Challenge accepted?

Miłosz Jarosiewicz

Miłosz seems to be living in an universe with 30-hour long days, judging by how much he gets done. Studying, running his own co-working place in Wroclaw and working as a manager for a rising music star, Miłosz also miraculously manages to keep the good mood. Studying Corporate Identity and Public Relations, he founded his first company and became a partner in the second one at the age of 19. Cofounder of Wroclaw' club of Toastmasters International, winner of Toastmasters National Public Speaking Championship in 2011, and the founder of OmniWave, a communication and public speaking company -- Miłosz surely keeps himself busy.
