TED2022 A NEW ERA
A lot has changed since TED last gathered in Vancouver three years ago. We return not for more of the same, wonderful though that was, but to celebrate a new era. Despite the awfulness we’ve lived through, the future beckons with extraordinary possibilities we couldn’t have dreamt of. In medicine, in AI, in clean energy, in the ways we work, the ways we learn, and in the fundamental economic and social systems that underpin everything else.
After living through a "once in a lifetime" pandemic event we get to decide what we keep from the last 18 months, and what we let go of. As virtual meetings and working from home becoming the "new normal" we get to spend more time contemplating the things that we truly want in life and the kind of communities we want to live in.
Join us as we welcome twelve incredible speakers and performers to the TEDxBrayfordPool stage as we ask the question 'what does tomorrow look like?'

Our break out and workshop sessions are designed to enrich your TEDxBrayfordPool experience by delving deeper in to the them of the event. They take place between sessions, but where more than one option is listed per breakout, at the same time.
Break Out
One
FISHBOWL DISCUSSION:
How do we create better communities?
With Steff Wright, Trevor Elvin, Georgia Preece & Mamatha Thota
Facilitated by the TEDxBrayfordPool curator Andy Farenden, Fishbowl Discussion give the speakers and performers an opportunity to discuss a pre-selected topic while the audience listen in - think of it like Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled.
During the conversation the curators will stop the speakers conversation and ask the audience to discuss what they’ve heard, then switch the conversation back to the speakers to discuss and reflect upon what the audience have discussed.
WORKSHOP:
Building diverse and inclusive communities.
TEDxBrayfordPool Co-Curator Owen Lewis hosts an interactive workshop looking at how to build better communities.
Owen explores how unconscious bias influences the way that we build communities, and why diversity of thinking can bring us all closer together. If you liked Matthew Syad's Rebel Ideas then this workshop is for you!

Facing the future head on.
Join the 3° of Innovation team in this coached workshop designed to help build empathy and authenticity.
These unprecedented times have given us all an unexpected opportunity to reevaluate what really matters to us. Some of us have relished in isolation developing new passions and hobbies. Some of us have felt overwhelmed and, as life begins to return to some semblance of "normal", are missing our mojo. Whether you feel nourished or knackered, chances are you've realised things need to change in order to thrive in the world of "business unusual".
