TED is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to “ideas worth spreading,” via powerful talks. TED began as a conference investigating topics where technology, entertainment, and design converged. Today, TED hosts remarkable speakers from all disciplines addressing a broad variety of fascinating topics before live, thoughtfully engaged audiences. The video recordings of these talks now comprise a library of over 3,000 talks viewed online by millions.

In each session we will view two TED talks as a group and will engage in a discussion about what we saw. Facilitators Lee Pizzimenti and Terry Smith will pick the first two talks to be discussed on the first day, and members of the group will select talks for further sessions. The facilitators will present several suggestions, but will encourage members of the group to suggest TED talks they think would interest the group. You can google TED talks to sample the offerings and find background information.

This study group for those 50 and over will meet for two hours on Tuesdays from October 29 through December 3.
