TEDx is a grassroots initiative, created in the spirit of TED’s overall mission to research and discover “ideas worth spreading.” TEDx brings the spirit of TED to local communities around the globe through TEDx events. These events are organized by passionate individuals who seek to uncover new ideas and to share the latest research in their local areas that spark conversations in their communities. TEDx events include live speakers and recorded TED Talks, and are organized independently under a free license granted by TED. These events are not controlled by TED, but event organizers agree to abide by our format, and are offered guidelines for curation, speaker coaching, event organizing and more. They learn from us and from each other. More than 3000 events are now held annually.

This year, UWC ISAK Japan is hosting its very first official TEDx event, open to the public. The theme "the Power of People" encapsulates the spirit of 2022, where our communities build our foundations when we face troubled times in the face of the pandemic. Let's rekindle the human spirit this year April 2nd!
