Help us take the ideas from the TEDxLondon stage and put them into action. TEDxLondon exists to discover and spread ideas, spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change to create a just, sustainable and joyful future. We want to bring our communities together to unleash the transformational power of ideas and stories. We focus our impact activities across three key areas: equality, climate and futures.
Forging new connections, raising awareness, rallying public interest, advancing policies and creating new initiatives, impact activities can take many different forms. We often get asked “what can I do?”, so these stories explain how you can get involved!
