Dear fellow Toastmasters,
We are glad to inform you that Toastmasters, Ukraine and TEDxKyiv have established a partner relationship. We believe that this cooperation will turn into a true friendship and will be mutually beneficial for people involved into activities initiated by both organizations.
Few words about TED: TED (short for Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a U.S. private non-profit foundation that is best known for its conferences. It was founded in Silicon Valley in 1984. Nowadays it has spread all over the world including Ukraine (starting Autumn, 2009). Those who have given TED talks include Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Bill Gates, the founders of Google and various Nobel Prize winners. Many talented Ukrainians have also contributed to the local TEDx initiative.
We are pleased to inform you that the next TEDxKyiv is scheduled for 24 April 2010 (which is one day before the All Ukrainian Toastmasters Speech Contest 2010). On my opinion both events can provide you with a brilliant opportunity to enjoy the art of public speaking, broaden your mind with some fresh ideas on various topics and meet really interesting people.

In case of any questions, please feel free to contact Lily Nabochenko.

Hi Lily,
ReplyDeleteI'm in Canada, but I'd like to know more about how your club is working with TED?
I'd like my club to do something similar.
I found your blog when I did a search for "Ted Talks Toastmasters."
I did a talk on three reasons why Toastmasters should watch TED Talks, and I'd like to connect with other Toastmasters interested in TED.
Here's the talk, with video: http://www.kevinkane.com/2010/12/before-bed-watch-ted/
Best wishes.
