TedxNewHaven TEDx New Haven 2025 brings bold talks, performances, and ideas that spark dialogue, inspire change, and connect our community.

💭 Some questions shape our world quietly. Others send shockwaves that reach us all.

• Could family child care (FCC) educators hold the key to repairing a broken system and driving shared prosperity?

• What does it mean to survive an act of gun violence when the echoes of that moment never fade?

Join us at TEDxNewHaven as our speakers uncover bold, compassionate ways to confront society’s most pressing challenges — and imagine what healing and prosperity could look like if we listened differently.

✨ At TEDxNewHaven, we’re asking the big questions that shape how we live, connect, and make meaning.

• How might public art challenge dominant narratives about community identity and belonging?
• How might reclaiming ancestral traditions reshape the way we process grief and care for the dying?
• How do we find genuine connection in a world that never stops buzzing?

Join us as our speakers dive into these urgent issues—uncovering fresh insights on public art, grief, and the future of human connection.

•What if joy isn’t the fleeting reward after struggle — but the very strategy for thriving?

•If climate tech is about more than emissions, what other transformations are waiting to be unlocked?

•And if “reentry” assumes a return to a culture we never belonged to, how do we imagine new narratives of belonging?

These are just a few of the questions our speakers will be answering at TEDxNewHaven 2025 — where ideas meet action, and where visionaries challenge us to see the world differently.

✨ Join us for a day of bold ideas exploring The Greatest Issues of Our Time.
