In late March, members of TEDx teams from seven Czech and Slovak cities — Bratislava, Brno, Hradec Králove, Kosice, Nitra, Prague and Znojmo — gathered together to hold the very first Czecho-Slovak TEDx workshop.
Attendees shared ideas, stories, and bonded over a shared goal to open up lines of communication between their communities and encourage their cities to be places where new ideas can flourish and grow.
The workshop has been a beginning of a closer cooperation of spreading TEDx ideas within a society where TED is known very little,” said TEDxBrno organizer Vlastimil Vesely. “And there will be more of us. Nachod and Kromeriz have recently got their TEDx licenses.”
TEDxHradecKrálové had their first spring event in early April, said Vlastmil, and TEDxBrno, TEDxBanskáBystrica, and TEDxPrague will hold their events in May.
Spring promises to be an exciting time for the Czecho-Slovak TEDx community, and we look forward to hearing the wealth of inspiring stories from their events.
