HAVE AN IDEA FOR A NEW ADVENTURE?
We launched our TEDxTUM adventures format beginning of this year as a flexible way to organize events, both online and offline, during the pandemic. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for our community to experience something new and make connections in a safe way, even in these challenging times.
This is your chance to contribute your unique perspective and ideas. You can now suggest possible adventures for us to organize! Below are some details on how best to do that.
Just to be clear: We are looking for inspiration from our wonderful, diverse community. Suggesting an adventure doesn’t mean you have to take responsibility for organizing it. Our team will take care of everything.
WHAT IS A GOOD TEDxTUM ADVENTURE?
Great adventures are not just worth attending, they also have the strength to create a lasting impact after the experience. They might alter the audience’s current perspective, or even open them up to a completely new way of thinking.
We’ve provided a short list to give you a hint of which types of adventures fit the TEDxTUM format.
ATTRIBUTES OF A TEDxTUM ADVENTURE
- Takes place in the greater Munich area, preferably in the city itself or reachable by public transport
- Invites participants to experience something they typically would not experience in their daily lives, learn something new, or connect with people they would otherwise not connect with
- Can be based on a speech, talk or video, but the primary focus is an activity
- Can be experienced in a group of size 15-50
- Can be realized keeping COVID-19 restrictions in mind (assume events up to 50 participants are allowed, provided all participants wear masks and 1.5m safety distance must be kept between households at all times)
- Can be realized at a reasonable budget (try to estimate the costs per attendee – if the ticket price to break even is acceptable for the experience at hand, you’re fine)
- It’s a plus if the adventure can take place virtually if nothing else is possible, or if it can take place both inside and outside!
TELL US MORE!
If you have an idea for a potential TEDxTUM adventure, please send us some details through this form. Our team might get in touch with you to clarify some things if needed, but you will not have any responsibility for making the adventure a reality.
Disclaimer: Not all suggested adventures can be realized. Our volunteer team might hang on to some of these ideas so we can pull them out of our sleeves depending on how the year develops. Others might be realized within a rather short time frame. We do, however, appreciate each and every idea and suggestion and will do our best to make 2021 another year full of ideas for you!
