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).

Jarinporn Joonkiat

Join Toey, an accomplished Thai actress with over a decade of experience, as she takes you through the journey of the "pink stone". Throughout her years in the Environmental Education Centre (EEC), Toey was burntout navigating through the expectations placed upon her by both herself and others. As a spokesperson of the centre, she grappled with the impact of her roles. Not only that she was burntout, but there was also a conflicting feeling within herself - trying to balance between her love for nature and her job that requires her to keep purchasing "fashionable" goods. The pink stone is a unique gem that leads Toey to discover new beings, an elephant and a leatherback turtle, which ultimately redefines her definition of love and life.
