Happy New Year!
As the calendar resets once more, it brings with it a multitude of emotions, aspirations, and possibilities. For many, this time may represent a fresh start, a chance to embrace new opportunities, set fresh goals, or embark on transformative journeys. It’s a time when resolutions are set, marking our commitment to self-improvement and growth.
The arrival of a new year is also an invitation to collectively explore, share and amplify ideas that shape our community and the world. TEDxNorthwich is about to embark on another exciting year in our quest to unearth and champion ideas that have the power to ignite change and need to be heard.
As we search for the ideas of 2024, we extend an open invitation to nominate someone whose voice carries an idea worth sharing. It might even be yourself! Reach out, let’s start a conversation, or complete our Speaker Nomination form. Together, let’s shape a platform where innovative ideas find their stage.
Our past TEDxNorthwich talks have brought us inspirational and thought-provoking insights. Dr. Srijan Jindal’s talk on Antimicrobial Resistance foresaw a potential crisis and urged action. Aifya Amesu uncovered the Human Stories behind Statistics, revealing the profound narratives beneath the numbers.
Paul Gaskin’s call to redefine our approach to Stuttering challenged perceptions, while Louise Johnson’s exploration of Confidence versus Competence sparked introspection. These talks, among others, shed light on diverse perspectives, challenging us to rethink our views and actions.
Reflecting on past talks, such as Nicola S. Morgan’s reframing of ‘failure’ or Karen J. Hewitt’s life-saving questions, we realize the power of these ideas to transform mindsets and drive positive change.
The TEDxNorthwich library, spanning back to 2019, is a testament to the wealth of ideas that have graced our stage. From Alison Jones Rethinking Writing to Sharon Amesu’s Ancestral Perspective and Ashley Costello questioning the Education System—each talk invites us to contemplate and reimagine the world around us.
As we step into 2024, let’s carry the spirit of curiosity, empathy, and action. Let’s seek out ideas that challenge norms, spark conversations and pave the way for a brighter future. Join us in this journey of exploration, innovation, and collaboration.
Encourage voices that you feel should be heard to share their Idea with us. Nomination forms are available now and up to 8th January. Reach out to the team if you have any questions. In the coming months, let’s amplify the voices that carry ideas worth spreading. Together, let’s make 2024 a year of profound revelations, impactful actions, and meaningful connections.
Happy New Year, and welcome to TEDxNorthwich 2024—a stage where ideas converge to transform lives and communities.
