TEDxMünster 2024
16. November 24
MCC Halle Münsterland
Time to talk about...
In unserer heutigen Gesellschaft mangelt es an konstruktivem Dialog. Der vorhandene Dialog spaltet, sorgt für Polarisierung, anstatt uns miteinander zu verbinden. Gleichzeitig wächst in der Gesellschaft der Eindruck, “man darf ja gar nichts mehr sagen”. Wir sagen: Lasst uns reden, grundsätzlich, und über Themen und Aspekte, die sonst verschwiegen werden!
Höre von unseren spannenden Speaker:innen über Bereiche unseres Lebens, die wir üblicherweise ausklammern, und komme in den Austausch über Kontroverses. Wir freuen uns auf einen gemeinsamen schönen Tag mit dir!
Speakers

Josephine Ballon
Co-CEO @ HateAid

Josephine Ballon
Co-CEO @ HateAid
The polarisation of society that can be observed is being accelerated by one medium in particular: the internet. The tone on social media can be harsh and expressing opinions has become extremely difficult. Josephine Ballon is stepping up to make the digital space a positive place for everyone again. She is a lawyer and co-CEO of HateAid, a non-profit organisation that campaigns for democracy in the digital world. In her talk, Josephine will show us how we can become trailblazers for an internet that we can all enjoy.

Hamed Abdel-Samad
Political scientist & author

Hamed Abdel-Samad
Political scientist & author
How can we make language more inclusive? And how can society deal with new inclusive language and expressions. Where does it lead us, when the media talks about “Gender-Gaga” and “Woke-madness”; when state governments ban gender-inclusive language in public authorities and educational institutions. Hamed Abdel-Samad is a political scientist and author of numerous books, and he will be taking us into the world of political correctness and showing us how it is misused as an instrument of power.

Amy Kean
Psychosociologist & satirist

Amy Kean
Psychosociologist & satirist
Menschen suchen nach Akzeptanz in der Gesellschaft um sie herum, sie wollen dazugehören. Insbesondere im Kontext von Social Media fällt dabei auf: sie passen sich immer mehr einander an; sie werden immer uniformer. Amy Kean ist Psychosoziologin und Satirikerin. Ihr erklärtes Ziel: uns allen aufzeigen, wie weird wir sind, und wie wir diesen Umstand nutzen können, glücklicher und kreativer zu sein. Ihr Versprechen an uns: ihr Talk wird uns alle motivieren, uns etwas weniger zu verstellen und der Öffentlichkeit ein kleines bisschen mehr von unserer wundervollen Verrücktheit zu offenbaren.

Sabine Martini
Mother

Sabine Martini
Mother
Today’s medicine is advancing and providing us with more and more opportunities to heal people and prolong life. At the same time, this progress presents us with difficult decisions: when is a life worth living? To what extent am I myself prepared to change my life if close family members need more of my attention? Sabine Martini is the mother of a daughter with Down's syndrome. Advanced medicine made it possible for Sabine to know about the diagnosis before her daughter was born, and despite all the uncertainties associated with it, she decided to give birth to her daughter. Sabine lets us look into her life and shares with us what she would have missed if she had decided against her daughter's life.

Lars Hermes
Social Entrepreneur
The way we think today is becoming increasingly more black and white. We are flooded with information and our brain wants to make things easy for itself. But is that such a good idea? Lars Hermes is a social entrepreneur and is dedicated to protecting the environment. In doing so, he has been able to learn a few things that have completely surprised him and shown him that he has often been wrong and made judgements far too quickly. On our stage, Lars will open people's eyes by showing us how our way of thinking can be wrong and talking frankly about the forest and sustainability.
