TEDx University of Manchester at Manchester Museum

The popular phenomenon that is TED continues as TEDx rolls in for this annual event. Working on the basis of ‘ideas worth sharing’, the programme aims to provide a TED event-like experience for the local community, giving fans the opportunity to engage in stimulating conversation. Speakers at the event include university professors Clive Agnew, the Vice President for Teaching Learning & Students at the University of Manchester, who will be talking about the future of university education, and Julian Dodd, who will give a lecture on the intersections between music and philosophy.
