TEDx Leeuwarden is an independently organized TED event in Leeuwarden, where local and international speakers share innovative ideas
In recent years, Leeuwarden, a city rich in history yet shaped by the dynamics of modern times, has shown remarkable resilience. The resilience of a community is often measured by its ability to recover and thrive amidst challenges and changes. The concept of 'Seats Resilience' reflects this powerful quality of Leeuwarden and especially its people.
With a focus on 'Seats,' we aim to use the symbol of seating as a metaphor for gathering at important events. Chairs symbolize stability, community, and progress. They represent the places where people come together, share ideas, and take collective action.
With TEDxLeeuwarden: Seats Resilience, we not only want to celebrate Leeuwarden's resilience but also inspire further growth, innovation, and collaboration. We aim to share stories of perseverance, creativity, and community spirit, which lie at the heart of Leeuwarden's identity. The name provides space for a variety of presentations and topics related to this theme.
Additionally, we want to provide a platform for exploring new ideas and initiatives that will strengthen the city's resilience and its surroundings in the future. The slogan is open to interpretation.
In short, TEDxLeeuwarden: Seats Resilience promises to be an inspiring event, celebrating the strength and resilience of Leeuwarden and paving the way for an even more resilient and thriving future.
