Artist Lily Yeh makes the case that each of us has the power to change the world for better in her TEDx CornellU talk on November 17, 2013.
“Listen to the voice in your heart. Be courageous to respond to life’s calling. Take action. Creative action guided by compassion leads to transformation.” —Lily Yeh
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 = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
