Before Christmas, we announced that our students are launching a TEDxGriffithCollege.
So, what is TEDx?
TEDx is part of the overall TED 'ideas worth spreading' movement but is independently organised at a local level. There have been 50 TEDx events in Dublin alone since 2009!
Here are some stats from the worldwide TEDx events:
- Over 13,000 events have happened around the world
- 3,174 cities around the world have hosted one or more TEDx events
- 173 countries have hosted one or more TEDx events
- TEDx talks have been viewed over 500 million times on YouTube

- Paul Devaney - Seven Summits
- Oisín Scollard - turn2me.org
