BIEN co-founder and honorary co-president Guy Standing will be among the speakers at a TEDx event in Prague on October 30.

This is Guy’s second lecture in Prague this year. In May, he spoke at the “Of Men and Money” conference at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art:

The overall theme of this year’s TEDxPrague event is “ours and theirs” or “ours and foreign”. In the words of organizer Matěj Novák:

Ours and Foreign comprises a wide range of topics, from current migration to national identity, from our relationship with our surroundings to immunity, nanotechnology or self-driving cars. Our aim for this year is to bring visitors the most interesting programme that TEDxPrague has ever offered.

For more information on TEDxPrague, including a list of other speakers, see the event webpage.

TED is a nonprofit foundation that aspires to “make great ideas accessible and spark conversation” through activities such as its TED Talks. The TEDx Program supports independent organizers who wish to convene events in their own communities.
