TEDxCapeTownWomen

TEDxCapeTownWomen is rated 3 out of 5 in the category think tanks. Read and write reviews about TEDxCapeTownWomen. TEDxCapeTownWomen was established in 2013 as an offshoot of TEDxCapeTown, to encourage broader inclusion in TEDx events, and to nurture a purposeful community of women and men who question the status quo and desire a more equitable Cape Town. Our event is part of a worldwide movement, held in parallel with the global TEDWomen event in the United States, and over 200 TEDxWomen events around the world. Our speakers interrogate themes from a uniquely African perspective and tackle pressing issues in South Africa in relation to what our exploration of the theme means to the wider TEDxCapeTownWomen community. _______________ 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. TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers - and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long. In fact, everything we do - from our TED Talks videos to the projects sparked by the TED Prize, from the global TEDx community to the TED-Ed lesson series - is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great ideas?
