As guileless as it may sound... Life is about conscious dreaming... In early autumn 2013 I dreamed I was speaking at a TEDx. Then I had an honor to be accepted at TEDxWarsaw Women 2013 and I spoke about linguistic, cultural and psychological frontiers the society imposes on us. A month later I thought it would be really great to organize a TEDx in Polish, Spanish, and English ... and so I did! The next step: to do it even better the next year, and the following... and never stop to learn and spread creativity and worthwhile ideas! We have already organized 10 events, including one prison event, one open-air event, and one event at an artistic squat. More is coming:)
