TEDex EVENT AT WESTPORT LIBRARY

Rethinking of Design in Learning Spaces

13 May 2014

Architect Henry Myerberg talks about learning from architecture with a focus on visibility, flexibility and density of design. 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.

SALZBURG GLOBAL SEMINAR, AUSTRIA

19-23 October, 2011

The Salzburg Seminar provided a rare opportunity for library and museum leaders from around the world to meet, get to know one another, learn, and imagine ways in which we can individually and collectively enable libraries and museums to play more essential roles in today’s global knowledge society. Through sharing our experiences – in plenary sessions, small groups, and informal conversations – we sparked passionate affirmations of the power of museums and libraries to engage the underserved, exploit the potential of new technologies to expand impact, and increase lifelong learning opportunities for all... – Marsha Semmel
