Theme: Conversations Beyond Borders

Stay connected through the TEDxLondon community

This week we’ll be joined by two former TEDxLondonWomen speakers Sanah Ahsan and Jamie Windust who will be discussing mental health, identity and the challenges faced by the LGBTQI community during this pandemic.

Join us for Conversations Beyond Borders on:
Friday 15 May
12:30 - 13:30 (BST)

At TEDxLondon we are extremely privileged to have access to a diverse network of experts. And although there is no shortage of news coverage around COVID-19, we want to bring our community insights that go beyond the headlines, find answers to the questions we’re all asking and examine issues that haven’t had as much attention.

Every week, we are creating a virtual space for our community to come together, explore ideas worth spreading and help us all feel a little less alone. Over the past six episodes we have brought together over 4000 viewers from 43 different countries.

Hosted by TEDxLondon Director and Curator Maryam Pasha, these weekly webinars will be available live via Zoom and live streamed on our Facebook page. We’d love you to send any questions for our speakers in advance via email to conversations@tedxlondon.com.
