Involving | Interactive | Diverse
Introducing our Event Program
Yes, TEDxKassel will be a virtual event. But this does not mean a simple livestream with all participants sitting at home and doing nothing!
We have given it our best to create an event which will be as close to an in-person event as possible. Our TEDxKassel Talks will be complemented by diverse Workshops, side-events for cognitive relief, an interview with John Strelecky, a panel discussion about the opportunities associated with social entrepreneurship, and our all-new pitching event for local startups and initiatives: START UP KASSEL! In addition, there will be networking opportunities during all of the event.
Events within the Event
The TED Motto „Ideas worth spreading“ stands strong in our TEDx conference. To show the great potential for innovation in North Hesse, we initiate an all-new startup-competition: Start Up Kassel!
Networking: Despite not being able to meet in person, between talks and other program items, we will give you the opportunity to connect with our sponsors, speakers and with each other virtually.
Interviews and Panel Discussions: Pose your own questions to our most renowned speaker and follow the debate about the role, effect, and challenges of social and cultural entrepreneurship.
Cooking Together: We have partnered with Kassel’s first completely organic restaurant to provide you with a fully virtual guided cooking session, so you can enjoy restaurant quality food from the comfort of your own home.
Interactive Idea and Desire Board: We wanted to give you the Chance to showcase your own ideas and opinions about the conference on a virtual whiteboard. This way, you can share your ideas and thoughts with everyone.
Yoga: Sitting in front of a screen all day can be exhausting; we know. That’s why we will provide you with opportunites to stretch your legs, ground yourself and re-energize during our yoga session and movement pauses.
Music: You miss this view? So do we! That’s why, among the many items in our program, we also provide live music sessions to get you in the right mood for thinking new and big (virtually of course).

Workshops: We’ll give you the opportunity to actively particpate in diverse workshops. Topics will invlude: Finding your own potential, creativity, sustainable living, and even songwriting.
Our Speakers
Panel Discussion
We invite experts from different fields to discuss what Social and Cultural Entrepreneurship means around the world. We will learn why Social corporations help to develope and increase welfare in societies. Furthermore, we will discuss challenges that social businesses face today and then we’ll focus on how social entrepreneurship can grow so that at one point it will even become bigger and more important than ’normal businesses. We will get insights in how a social startup can be founded and why the establishment of social startups needs to be supported by private and governmental institutions in order to face challenges successfully and provide a livable and prosper life of our generation and the next.

Networking and meeting other people is one of the many things which have become more difficult this year.
