Our changing world

Our world is evolving at a dramatic rate. Globally, society is constantly facing new challenges to overcome. Humanity is questioning, deliberating and sharing how to make a difference.

TEDx Leeds Beckett University will evoke and inspire discussion about our changing world.

Brought together in the heart of Leeds, this event will influence positive conversation and challenge perceptions. We need to reflect on our present to create a prosperous future for the next generation to come.

The event features Professor David Glew, Director of the Leeds Sustainability Institute (LSI), Dr Emily Zobel Marshall, Reader in Postcolonial Literature at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Professor Louisa Ells, co-director at the Obesity Institute, and Lauren Senior who is currently studying a PhD in Nutrition at Leeds Beckett University.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
