Around the world, our traditional understandings of knowledge, education, and wisdom are being remade.

...The digital era presents us with access to more information than we’ve ever had before; how do we move into the future with an awareness and appreciation of our past?

...The expectations, challenges, and lifecycles of our youth are changing rapidly; how do we empower today and tomorrow’s students to pioneer a better world?

...The challenges we face collectively are more complex, interdisciplinary, and globally integrated than ever before; how we nurture a comfort for working with the unknown?

...Our educational institutions are in transition; what is the role of formalized schools in our collective future? How might our learning communities evolve?

Come explore these questions and many others at TEDxNovaScotia, happening Sunday March 10th at Dalhousie University.

 
What is TEDx? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxNovaScotia, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxNovaScotia event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
