TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.

TEDx is an international community that organizes TED-style events anywhere and everywhere — celebrating locally-driven ideas and elevating them to a global stage.

This last weekend Blumenau hosted the TEDxBlumenauWomen, an independently organized event, one of the two licenses granted to Brazil, to hold the TEDWomen2017: Bridges , a three-day conference about the power of women and girls to be creators and change-makers, which took place in New Orleans a few days ago.

“Let’s take part of this global conversation about our shared future! The more you enter into it, the more you will take out!”
