Building on the conversation started at the initial TEDxTogether, we seek to explore play as a key driver between inspiration and action.

The focus of this month's speakers evolve around the area of learning, and the increasingly fading boundaries between learning and play - from experiential learning to video games.

Our speakers will share successes and challenges encountered in a variety of projects. From public after-school programs for learning through art, to video games as learning tools and initiatives to engage local communities in ongoing expert-led workshops.
