Mia Kirn-Fedda

Activist, Producer

Mia, is a producer. She likes to get her hands on projects that make a difference. She has a strong connection to Ibiza, born in Madrid and raised every summer of her life in Ibiza until she made it her permanent home in 2016. Her aim is to bring the community together to share inspirational ideas, solutions and innovations.

Passion is a gift. To have a drive, a need to create and be part of something bigger than oneself. This is to me the ultimate goal. To feel passion for an idea, a solution, discovery or even a relationship. This is what I believe we are all seeking-all of us are striving for. I feel passion for our planet and its delicate and unique situation it finds itself in the age of the anthropocene. I feel passion for education, that education that exists in structure for our children or young people but also that constant curiosity and self driven education that is inherit in all of us. I am passionate about creative forces, that which flow through us and end up on stage or even in a small circle of friends. I feel passion when I witness the creative force coming to light or even when I am blessed enough to be part of it. But mostly, I feel passionate about finding passion and about helping others find their passions. Recognizing passion in one person and connecting them with the other person I know might share the same passion. This click happens inside and I feel a drive to complete it to make it happen to put people and ideas together to see them flourish and see them inspire others. This is why I so very much love the TEDx platform.

Ibiza has long been the home to the wayfaring traveler, embracing people from other cultures and countries for centuries. The people of Ibiza pride themselves in their multiculturalism and ability to connect in friendship with people from across the world. But for many families in Ibiza, steering young people into meaningful work on a global platform has meant leaving the island for bigger cities and bigger opportunities. By introducing educational technology for the young people in Ibiza, local communities have the chance to learn, grow and exchange ideas outside of the Island, creating global opportunities and connections whilst maintaining a relatively low impact on such a small island.

Production, Team Management

Ibiza is a multi-cultural island full of seekers, visionaries, thought leaders and talent. It is, and has always been, a place of refuge for the outcast, the non conformist, the black sheep. Within it, the island can hold you and help you flourish. It can be a place of inspiring activation catapulting new ideas and new movements to the rest of the world. I am inspired daily by the people I have known my whole life that are residents in Ibiza but also by the newcomers that arrive. I have been in awe of the stories I have listened to, the journeys I have witnessed and the wealth of wisdom and cultural diversity that exists here. My hope is to share this with the wider world. As head of events and part of the development team for a climate non profit in the US I have created and produced a youth led podcast about climate activism called House on Fire. This has led me to the world of podcasts.. My top favorite go to on my playlist is Ted Talks Daily. What better way to inspire me on my morning commute than a fresh new talk brought to me by TED. I am so grateful for this podcast and for its constant source of reliable information, creative new insights and mind boggling solutions. This is really what has given me a strong drive to delve into the world of TED. Although I had of course engaged and viewed many TED talks before, never have I consumed so many at once since I discovered the podcast.
