The local community. Durham has a huge student population and I aim to further the relationship between local residents and students through TEDxDurham.

I'm fairly new to TED but have quickly become a devotee after experiencing my first TEDx event at the fantastic TEDxSalford in October 2012. As soon as I arrived home I began scouting the internet to find out how I could go about brining TEDx to Durham. 2 months later and our license was granted... TEDxDurham was finally underway. Our event is due to be held in May 2013 and we have recently confirmed our third live speaker and ensembled a team of fantastic volunteers. Watch this space!
