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).

Thomas Notmeijer

High school student

Hello! My name is Thomas Notmeijer, and I am a Grade 12 student from the Netherlands. Lately, I’ve noticed that it feels like people are not listening to each other as much anymore, whether on the internet or in face-to-face conversations. The importance of listening goes well with my interest in philosophy, so I decided to combine the two and explore the cruciality of listening in finding life’s meaning.
