First Edition: The Art of Being Human

TEDxMarvila: A Celebration of Ideas and Humanity

On March, 2025, TEDxMarvila brought together a community of curious minds, visionary speakers, and creative thinkers for an unforgettable day in the heart of Marvila.

Through the theme “The Art of Being Human,” we explored the complexities, beauty, and challenges of the human experience. Our brilliant lineup of Portuguese and international speakers shared thought-provoking insights, challenged perspectives, and inspired us to reflect on our place in the world.

But TEDxMarvila was more than just talks—it was an experience. Attendees had the chance to engage with speakers, participate in interactive activations, and immerse themselves in the historic setting of Convento do Beato. From deep discussions to spontaneous exchanges, the event fostered a space for connection, learning, and inspiration.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on this journey. Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and passion for ideas made TEDxMarvila a truly special gathering. Stay connected with us for future editions and keep spreading ideas worth sharing!

Convento do Beato: Where events make history

Convento do Beato’s history dates back to the 15th century when Queen Isabel ordered a hermitage to be built. In the 16th century, Friar António da Conceição, later known as Blessed António [Beato António], encouraged the construction of the Convent over the hermitage. 

In the 20th century, Convento do Beato was classified as “Heritage of Public Interest”. It became an events venue in 1989. It has the ambition to be the best Events venue in Europe. 

Hosting TEDxMarvila at Convento do Beato means offering a unique experience in a traditional yet contemporary space steeped in history.
