TED is an annual event where some of the world's leading thinkers and doers are invited to share what they are most passionate about. "TED" stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. The event is broader still, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline. Attendees have called it "the ultimate brain spa" and "a four-day journey into the future." What is TEDx,
x = independently organized event
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 stands for independently organized TED event. What is TEDxRITKosovo
TEDxRITKosovo was formed by a group of young individuals, students of the RIT Kosovo, to help spread awareness and allow leaders and thinkers from Kosovo and the region to speak up to our fellow students and present the ideas put into practice. This group comes from varying academic, cultural, and professional backgrounds and varying age groups with the same goal in mind. Our purpose here is to show our fellow students that we can only move forward at this time in our lives through long-term-looking perspectives and inspiration-fed actions in all fields of life regardless of the areas of interest. TEDxRITKosovo is a student-led, collaborative experience that inspires innovative thinking, moving others to purposeful action. We wish to promote collaboration between the students, faculty, and administrations of RIT Kosovo. We also aim to foster the ideas of TED, “believing passionately in the power of ideas to change attitude, lives and ultimately, the world.”
Our goal is to promote RIT Kosovo as an innovative and collaborative institution of higher education that maintains discipline and promotes creative and critical thinking beyond its class curricula. We anticipate that our independent TEDx event will leave an impact on the RIT Kosovo community and the broader Kosovo society by fostering diversity, collaboration, and the distinct values from this unique experience.
