TEDxMarvila was born from the initiative of a Marvila resident, driven by the desire to blend traditional local roots with a fresh, international spirit.
TEDxMarvila is a platform where ideas worth sharing connect people from different cultures, generating meaningful dialogues that can inspire positive change, right here in the vibrant Marvila neighborhood, Lisbon’s creative hub.
It offers the public and partners the unique opportunity to participate in an independently organized TED-style event, to be inspired and connect with curious and creative minds, in a day of sharing enlightening ideas and stimulating conversations.
What does it take to create an event with 1000 participants and a brilliant line-up of Portuguese and international speakers? A team, of course! Here, we tell you a little more about who we are.
TEDxMarvila will take place in the creative heart of Lisbon. Curious to know why Marvila is said to be to East Lisbon what Shoreditch is to London or Brooklyn to New York? We tell you more here.
In keeping with the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TEDx is a locally organized program that brings together people to share experiences in the TED model. At a TEDx event, speakers and side activities combine to spark debate and connections.
TED is a non-profit organization whose mission is to spread valuable ideas around the world.
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design: it is a non-profit organization with the purpose of sharing “ideas worth spreading,” where the world’s leading players in “thinking” and “doing” are invited to talk about their ideas in conversations of up to 18 minutes. Subsequently, their talks are made available online for free to inspire as many people as possible! TED began as a conference in California in the 1980s and today, its “mission” has grown through multiple initiatives supporting ideas that can change the world for the better.
