TEDxExeter 2013 – Living the Questions

We have gathered another group of outstanding innovators, activists and performers who are changing the world through their ground breaking work and ideas.

On 12 April, we explored how to live the important questions facing us in all areas of life, including money, business, prosperity, sustainability, the environment, childhood and old age, community, society, science. Thank you to all those who came. We hope you enjoyed living the questions as much as we did.

Most of the videos from 2013 have been released, and the rest will be available soonest.

Ideas Worth Spreading

“I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

- "There is a dangerous misconception that we have a choice between ecology and economic development. But 100% of our services comes from nature – soil, biodiversity, water, resources. Nature has intrinsic value and needs protecting for its own sake. For our own self-interest, we also need to embed nature in all economic activities."

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxExeter, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxExeter event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
