Live Streamed Event Talk

Alternative Paths

Join this panel of nine speakers as they explore the theme of alternative paths and unconventional journeys that embrace determination and resilience, brought together by Nova and TEDxLadbrokeGrove.

Alternative Paths: Dare to Explore

The first-ever TEDxLadbrokeGrove took place in November 2019 exploring the theme of interconnectedness.

This year, TEDxLadbrokeGrove invites guest speakers to discuss the theme of Alternative Paths.

We all come up against walls we feel we can’t break down, naysayers and a whole host of other blockers – but with grit, determination and fresh perspectives we can find a way.

What are the alternative paths that scientists, technologists, activists, all beings and organisations take to get to intended destinations and solutions?

The talks aim to inspire the audience on exploring the alternative paths everyone can take beyond limits.
