TEDx Salon - Importance of Storytelling

with TEDxOhioStateUniversity

TEDx is dedicated to ideas worth spreading. Join us for a recorded TEDx talk followed by discussion and interactive activities that help put these ideas into action.

TEDxOhioStateUniversity is an independently affiliated TEDx organization focused on ideas worth spreading. Every year TEDxOhioStateUniversity puts on a main event that consists of 12 amazing speakers, who give real-life TED talks. However, this year TEDxOhioStateUniversity wants to bring the power of TED and TEDx talks to the Columbus Metropolitan Libraries. This event will include the watching and discussion of a TED talk as well as interactive and collaborative activities with audience members that help put the idea worth spreading in the talk in action. TED talk topics can be chosen from a variety of options such as the importance of storytelling, libraries as community builders, the pursuit of joy; and finally, “Don’t have time to read a book, listen to a TED story instead!” Audience members will have the opportunity to critique or expand upon the talk by applying it to their own lives or lived experiences. This program will be led by student members of the TEDxOhioStateUniversity organization.
