On the 12th of October 2019, students and graduates are hosting the first-ever TEDx-conference at Glasgow Caledonian University.
Robbie Radev, a Business and Finance-student, applied during his second year of university to hold a license to host a TEDx-conference. When this was granted, he gathered an ambitious team of now 30 student volunteers divided into six divisions. The team is responsible for organising the inaugural edition of our TEDx conference with intentions of promoting different views on ideas and concepts.
With our TEDx Conference theme, Unfolding Good Together, TEDxGlasgowCaledonianUniversity aims to showcase different aspects of how our world is connected. By using a transdisciplinary lens, a variety of topics and ideas on the theme, these will commemorate the importance of bringing positive change to society and individuals. We would like to demonstrate this concept through a series of dynamic origami-designed identities using four symbols constituting of Confidence, Leadership, Entrepreneurial Mind-set, and Active and Global Citizenship. This inaugural theme was chosen for our conference given the motto of our university, “Working for the Common Weal”, which represents our institution and its community. We as the first-ever team of TEDx for Glasgow Caledonian University are all about “leaving a legacy” and bringing back to our community by commemorating on our institution’s aim.
Join us on October 12 to get inspired, get challenged, establish connections, push boundaries and set out new ways of understanding and sharing social good.
