We all know that feeling: your head is in the clouds, ideas rushing through your mind at the speed of light. Nothing seems impossible anymore. You're inspired and can't wait to learn more! No, you haven't just left a TEDTalk (though we certainly hope you feel this way after our monthly TEDxKrakówCinema meetings) - you've been energized by a particularly thought-provoking lecture at your university!
Every college has a professor (or a dozen, if you're lucky) known for their captivating way of bringing whatever topic they teach to life. Perhaps it's a visiting lecturer who normally spends his or her days inventing things (or ideas) that make life better. Perhaps he or she is an unparalleled expert in their field, and is able to explain their work in a way that excites students and makes them hungry for more knowledge.

We're thrilled to finally confirm that this year's TEDxKraków will take place on Friday 21 September - a little earlier than in previous years as we hope to take advantage of the better weather! But apart from that, the format is going to stay pretty much the same. So. . . drum&roll.

The TED Prize is awarded annually to an exceptional individual who receives $100,000 and, much more important, "One Wish to Change the World. " This year for the first time, the TED Prize was awarded to an idea: the City 2. 0. And instead of giving the $100,000 prize to one big idea, it’s divided in 10 blocks of $10,000 each, to help seed 10 projects in cities around the world. The TED Prize will create a platform to allow citizens anywhere to participate in the creation of their City 2.

It's that time of the month again - grab your 3D glasses and your thinking caps (OK, you'll only actually need one of those) and head to Kino 18 (Floriańska 18) this Tuesday, 8 May at 7 pm for an evening of TEDTalks and lively discussion. As if you needed more convincing, this month we have a special guest! We've invited Jerzy Vetulani, our favourite neuropsychopharmacologist and one of the stars of TEDxKraków 2011, to be the guest curator of the May edition. He’s going to choose the talks we’ll be watching and will lead the discussion. As you know, space is limited so make sure you’re there early – and sign up on our Facebook event page, while you're at it. It’s sure to be an amazing evening!.

In mid April, while Kraków was still shaking off winter, our marketing and PR manager Kasia Triantafelo and curator Ewa Spohn travelled to Doha to take part in the first ever TEDxSummit. The TEDx programme has only been going for 3 years and in this time, around 3000 events have been held. Given that the TED team thought that there would only be a few events a year, the growth of the programme has been extraordinary. So the purpose of the TEDxSummit was to bring together this diverse group of change agents from around the world and to get them to meet, talk and exchange ideas, as well as to discuss the future of the TEDx programme.
