Libraries have always been places where ideas are shared and disseminated and as such South Dublin Libraries have been following TED discussions for some time. TEDx licenses are granted to local groups and South Dublin Libraries are delighted to get one of these licenses.
Ateliers have their origin in medieval times and became places where master artists and crafts people shared skills and encouraged creative experimentation with their students. Now imagine a 21st century atelier where ideas are sparked and innovation is nurtured - an Atelier of Ideas - that's what TEDx Tallaght 2013 aims to be this year. Bringing together inspired thinkers and curious souls this TEDX welcomes people from many disciplines who all want to achieve a deeper understanding of the world
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.
