TEDxChange is coming to town on April 5, 2012 from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm.
TEDxChange is an event co-hosted by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and TED. The location in Berlin will be set soon. We’ll keep you posted!
In this TEDxChange, we’ll take a step back and apply new perspectives to big picture issues: Why, as a global society, should we continue to invest in overseas development? How can we work across borders and political boundaries to bring about positive change? And what returns can we expect on our investments?
We are in the midst of a difficult time for the world economy. With domestic challenges dominating the conversation, it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture. But it’s more important than ever that we recognize our part in an interdependent, global community. We have a shared history and a shared stake in our future.
Too many people still cannot meet their most basic needs: nutritious food, clean water, safe sanitation services, and life-saving medical care. We can’t proceed with business as usual.
