Study Group Details


251: TED Talks

Thursday
9:45 - 11:15
Starting September 23
Online

TED Talks feature speakers who expose audiences to cutting-edge work across diverse fields: in short, ideas worth spreading. This study group will focus on talks related to issues that matter, from personal growth, aging, humanity and innovation to society, community, and more. During our highly interactive sessions, the class will view and discuss several talks weekly. Participants are encouraged to preview the talks in advance. Individual members will be asked (on a volunteer basis) to prepare brief background and discussion points for each presenter. TED Talks are available on the Internet and public radio, among other outlets. Please note that both TED Talks classes will view and discuss similar subjects.
