WHAT’S IN THE FUTURE?

What is TEDx of the future? Just a platform to connect people and spread ideas or more? We need to think about a way to change our society and solve the unbearable problems; we have to do it as humans beings, doers and thinkers, movers and shakers, but is this also the mission of the TEDx community? May we pass from Ideas worth spreading to ideas worth implementing? and how can we do it without losing our soul maintaining our unique neutrality and incredible energy, both still together?

TREASURE HUNT. WHICH TREASURE?

In the breathtaking scenario of the center of Rome, the whole TEDx community through a treasure hunt will discover the history of ancient Rome, including myths, legends and truths, and also the importance of collaborating together learned from the past. But what’s the real treasure that we will discover? Think about a concept based on two ancient terms: recus and procus, backward and forward. This is the case in which we live a situation where some people agree to help each other by behaving in the same way or by giving each other similar advantages. Did you guess the real treasure of your hunt? It is a simple word. Ok, I’ll give you another clue: There are no assurances or guarantees that what we give will come back. But if it does not matter, if one chooses to become one of the bridges between past and future, among inside and outside, from recus to procus, then this treasure is given the possibility of being born and living: the tower becomes a network and we can take care each other.
Starting point : Terrazza Caffarelli – Piazzale Caffarelli, 4

Here, on Via Biberatica we will have our dinner of ancient Rome, be beautiful!

*Notes about the Emperor Trajan:
Under Trajan, the Roman Empire reached its maximum territorial extent (6.5 million square kilometers). Exalted already by contemporaries, he was remembered by ancient historians as Optimus princeps or the best among Roman emperors. Many modern and expert historians consider him one of the most important statesmen in history by virtue of its work and its great abilities as a commander, administrator and politician. At his death, Trajan was deified by the Senate and his ashes were placed at the foot of the Trajan column.
