Maureen Hascoet is an award winning filmmaker. Passionate about storytelling in all its forms and women rights, she brings TEDx to Cumbernauld to celebrate women's achievements in the community and beyond!
I'm passionate about
Filmmaking, storytelling, and women's rights!
We're witnessing a massive shift in women's stories and voices as we are getting ready to write the next chapter in humanity.
An idea worth spreading
Self care is a revolution in women's rights, yet what does it mean to put yourself first and why does it feel so counter-intuitive?

The TED story
Fellow filmmaker Chris Jones introduced me to the TED community and talks 10 years ago and went on to host his own event TEDx Ealing, about storytelling.
I had a lot of changes in my life this past 12 months and moved my family to what I soon found out was a 'deprived' community in Scotland. Discussing next step, Chris suggested I held a TEDx event, which seemed an amazing idea, opening realms of opportunities, and while applying for the license, I saw there were substands, including TEDx Women, which resonated. So here we are! Dec 5th, 2019!
