Adapt & Thrive: Johann Koss at TEDxLakeGeneva

Youth Empowerer
Johann Koss

With four Olympic speed skating gold medals, 10 world records and three world championships, Johann Koss is one of the greatest winter athletes of all time. Johann's achievements on the ice have since been eclipsed by his efforts on behalf of Right To Play, an International NGO that uses the power of play to transform the lives of children affected by poverty, conflict or disease. Present in over 20 countries, Right To Play is working with street children, child soldiers and children with disabilities to heal, educate and reduce violence.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
