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).

Adrian Oianu

Fashion Designer Adrian Oianu is the first Romanian fashion designer who searched and explored the Romanian heritage, taking elements from the traditional Romanian costume and reinterpreting it to the contemporary. Since 2006, each collection was inspired from specific Romanian elements, themes and native emblematic figures. The magic of the work comes from its connection with motherland Romania, with its story tales, beauty and history and with the uniqueness of its women...how can it be described?...soft and kind…like warm bread! These women wear their garments joyfully, imprinting them with their cheerfulness, with no vanity or infatuation.

Roxana Dumitrache

Feminist Activist | Collaborator, Romanian Cultural Institute | Writer She says about herself: " I have the intellectual traits of a feminist, but not the ambition of transforming the world. I practice public writing for some time now, with the understanding that crossing from philosophy and political science to literature is, if not a huge step, a form of emotional gymnastics. Feminism is neither a playground for trained minds, nor a land of fierce fighting against men. It is a critic reconstruction of reality and political projects which should represent an unsegregated humanity. And as much as it tires or upsets me to hear I support feminism to show that the world is sometimes not very friendly to women, I believe feminism can (also) be rescuing. "
