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).

Belinda Kirk has led thousands of people into the wilderness. She’s witnessed first hand the power of chosen challenge or ‘adventure’ to transform the timid into the confident, the addicted into the recovering and the lost into the intentionally wandering. This sent her on a ten-year research mission to explain the psychology of why adventuring is so essential to our wellbeing. In a poignant, funny talk at TEDxSwansea, she shares deep insight from her life and research. Belinda argues that adventure is for everyone.
