November 25th. Over 800 people from all over the world. Lighthouse with 7 amazing speakers and 2 artists who shared their enlightening experience of live and ideas… Ideas that brought inspiration and light into all the attendants life.
With the support of SI, Karolinska Institute’s local network had the honor to invite 15 SI Scholars within the Sweden to enjoy one of the most expected Stockholm’s event - TEDx Stockholm Talks.These talks included topics on technology, entertainment, education, science, society, design… All the SI holders had the opportunity to consider past and future of music, realize on how data can not only explain, but also empower us to break glass ceilings, how and what will prevail and emerge the industry, what we can learn by crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a row boat, and how to restructure our home so that we will not need planets of resources to support our needs in twenty years.
Here are some of the reflections of the SI Scholars after attending the event:
“…I really amazed to here Ameenah Gurib-Fakim speech who is a famous biologist & the president of Mauritius. She gave Talk (recorded) on “Humble plants that hide surprising secrets”. In her TED Talk, she introduced us to the baobab tree, one of the incredible species that grows in the biodiversity hotpot of Mauritius and which could hold the key to the future of food.”
“…I have attained a delightful event in Stockholm called TEDx light house. The event gave me a lifelong experience on how to get out of the comfort zone to be a successful person and the need for to take a risk to reach my goal…I really enjoyed the speak delivered by Michele Benincaso, a world class luthier, on how to approach peoples demand by creating an innovative way which is unique and ahead of time…”
“I enjoyed most the first talk by Stefan Erlandsson. His approach to challenges was to say let’s go for it….I feel more confident now…All I can think about is let’s go for it…”
Many thank to SI NFGL for such a great opportunity!
