While most of you were probably paying attention to our wonderful speakers during TEDxKraków 2011, a few of you may have noticed one man diligently doodling away in the corner during the conference. That man happened to be local artist, illustrator and animated filmmaker Andrzej Lichota. In addition to showing at numerous exhibitions, publishing several books and films and being the recipient of nearly a dozen prizes over the past decade, Andrzej drew the following illustrations for us during TEDxKraków, which we're happy to share with you today (click on each thumbnail for a larger version)!

The first TEDxKrakówCinema of 2012 is now behind us, and it went well above our expectations! And in case you missed it, you can still watch the talk that sparked a lively discussion here: Why do we do what we do?
So what's next? Well, there's the next TEDxKrakówCinema, which will take place on Tuesday, 7 February at 7 pm at the same spot, Kino 18 on ul. Floriańska. But we also have another project in the works, which will coincide with TED2012 on Wednesday, 29 February. Details are coming soon, so remember to bookmark our Coming Up page and follow us on Facebook and Twitter so you'll always be in the know about upcoming TEDxKraków events!.

Hello TEDxers! It's a new year, a new month, and of course that means a new TEDxKrakówCinema! This month's event will take place in our usual location, Kino 18 (ul. Floriańska 18, 2nd floor), but this month, it's going to be at a different time as we'll be starting at 8:30pm (not our usual 7pm). As always, TEDxKrakówCinema is open to anyone who would like to join us. This month's topic is: "New Year, change and improvement?" How are you intending to change yourself in 2012? What are your resolutions? Does it make sense to make New Year resolutions at all and if it does, what can you do to make them to succeed? Join us for an evening of debate, lively discussion and, of course, TED!.

We here at TEDxKraków would like to not only wish you and your family a happy and safe holiday season, but a thoughtful one as well. To that end, we've compiled some TED and TEDx Talks that will undoubtedly make for some inspired dinner table conversation, or great topics to chat about as you wait for the New Year's fireworks. Trying to justify that winter holiday? Stefan Sagmeister: The power of time off
Need some gift ideas? Caleb Chung plays with Pleo
Having trouble remaining civil during Christmas lunch? Rev. James Forbes: Compassion at the dinner table
What's the real meaning of Christmas? Why aren’t we all Good Samaritans?
And something for the Hanukkah spirit: Rabbi Jackie Tabick: The balancing act of compassion
And of course, we couldn't resist listing one of our own TEDxKraków Talks. For those of you who have had enough of Christmas carols played over every loudspeaker in the city, here's some music with a bit more "spirit": Duch - Spirit from Krakow.
