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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. 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).

Inspiriert von ihren Learnings aus dem Sport und ihren Begegnungen mit Skater*innen aus verschiedensten Kulturen, gibt die 29-jährige Abenteurerin Longboard-Workshops in der ganzen Schweiz. Dabei bringt sie Jugendlichen und insbesondere jungen Frauen das Longboarden bei, wobei (Female-) Empowerment und Community Building im Vordergrund stehen
