We are hugely excited to launch the 1st TEDxTotnes.

A creative, inclusive event designed to celebrate our community and devote a day to sharing ideas, marveling at what is around us, questioning what we are doing and joining forces to start a dialogue for a better future.

So what is TEDxTotnes all about?

Each TEDx event has a theme and ours is: In our Hands, as in The Future is in our Hands.

Totnes has a unique and wonderful approach to not only the future but also to the here and now. As a community Totnes has a lot to be proud of and initiatives that originate here are now celebrated and adopted Globally. We should celebrate and be proud of this.

We should also celebrate what is around us. In a very Global world there is a wonderfully rich selection of ideas and initiatives started everyday with the aim of making our world a better place. How can we tap into the richness of the world that surrounds us?

How can we join our local, community-driven focus with the wonders of what is around us on a National and Global level to make the future of Totnesians the best it can be?

And, what can we learn from our past?

TEDxTotnes will celebrate Totnes, celebrate the world we live in and challenge ideas created by all of us.
