Brief Description of Society Activities

TED is a non profit organisation dedicated to 'Ideas Worth Spreading'.  TED believes in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world.  Check out www.ted.com to find out more. TEDxNewcastleUniversity is committed to bringing the TED spirit and spread the 'ideas worth sharing' through short powerful talks and other activities focused on triggering broader thinking.

We aim to provide a large range of topics of particular interest to students by organising weekly TED and TEDx talks' screenings where we discuss ideas and play interactive games and riddles. 

From time to time, we like to hold socials, as we are a very multicultural society (and committee) with many nationalities and cultures represented we often look for fun, interesting things we can do which are not centered around alcohol. We are passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion and welcoming students from all walks of life. 

We also enjoy organising TED-like events with guest speakers, and to achieve this we host an annual TEDxNewcastleUniversity event for the student and local community. All in all it's about connecting with interesting, fun people, having great conversations and getting involved in awesome events and activities.

Our society is completely student-led, and run by volunteers, allowing our members the chance to gain important leadership skills and experience to equip them in their career planning. 
We encourage our students to apply for the NCL+ Award, and our committee members the NCL+ Advanced Leadership Award.
