Via TEDxAruba we attract people and companies in the areas of Tech, Education and Design in order to share their sustainable concepts with Aruba, the region, Europe and the America’s. There’s going to be a nice mix of international and local speakers who will address a wide range of topics within the research and practice of science and culture, often through storytelling. The speakers are given a
maximum of 18 minutes to present their ideas in the most innovative and engaging ways they can. The TEDxAruba mission, like the TED mission, is to propagate Ideas worth Spreading and Actions worth Doing; to inform and inspire. Our specific goal is to turn TEDxAruba into the Caribbean’s leading platform and pipeline for great ideas, storytelling, creativity, actionable innovation, to foster a sense of community amongst the people and organizations who have gathered (and continue to gather) around this event and to provide a cultural driving force for conversation and action on how to create a sustainable society. TEDxAruba is an independently organized event licensed from TED to official TEDx ambassador Jim Stolze and organized by the TEDxAruba Foundation. Together with a network of fellow thinkers and do-ers and long time collaborators, this team has put together a platform and pipeline for the spreading of (Aruban) sustainable ideas, solutions, creativity, innovation and culture to the rest of the world.
