Dear friend of Arkadia, You are warmly welcome to yet another TED salon Friday 19.3 at 6pm! An evening of watching and discussing two short, impactful, and thought-provoking video lectures on topics related to education by author and educator Sir Ken Robinson (http://tinyurl.com/y9pmhdf) and designer and educator Kiran Bir Sethi (http://tinyurl.com/yduspoa). The lectures, originally delivered at past TED conferences (www.ted.com), deal with creativity and empowerment in education. TED Salon@Arkadia, an initiative launched in February 2010 by Pavan Ramkumar, is a monthly event, where two related, complementary or constrasting TED talks are screened around a common theme. The talks are intended to provide a conversation piece around which people can convene. Why: To share the passion for novel and thought-provoking ideas with as diverse an audience as possible, to create a forum for meaningful conversation, and to define a local response to global ideas. Welcome and bring your friends! Warm regards, Ian www.arkadiabookshop.fi – Entrance is free and green tea will be served. A donation of €2 (or more!) is suggested and would be welcome. – The talk is open to everyone and will be in English. Important: Disclaimer: Kindly note that this informal evening of TED talks is different from a licensed, independently organized TEDx event: http://www.ted.com/pages/view?id=343.
