Ideas worth spreading

This is the tagline for TED for those who don't know. In Strathclyde I was on the TEDx team for 1.5 years and have been a big fan of TED since a teach introduced it to me in high school. So when I saw that they had a team at PolyU who were organizing an event I couldn't wait to sign up. The theme was Pioneering and they had seven different speakers from a rang of backgrounds present. It's neat to see clubs/societies that I was active in at home, like TEDx and AIESEC, halfway around the world. It's something that builds bridges between people in different countries on a very personal level. Not only do organizations like TED spread ideas they open up a conversation between people based on the desire to learn. And is that not what exchange is all about, building bridges and learning to understand others.
