"Courage can be almost as contagious as fear." Since anthropologist Brian Palmer himself spends a lot of his time in a state of anxiety, he has always been fascinated by people who voluntarily take on gigantic problems -- heroes. His course at Harvard about civic courage and engagement attracted more than 600 students and he has hosted Sommar in Swedish Radio P1. Now he wants us to meet some of his heroes: Malala Yousafzai, Sophie Scholl and Witold Pilecki.

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)
