2015 Partnership Program

Technology  +  Entertainment  +  Design  =  TED  

TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from the worlds of Technology, Entertainment, Design.

Since then its scope has grown. Along with two annual conferences – the TED Conference in Vancouver, Canada in Spring 2015, and TEDGlobal in Edinburgh, UK each summer – TED includes the award-winning TED Talks site, which makes over 1,500 of the best talks and performances from TED and partners available to the world for free, with more added each week. Over 1,200 are subtitled in Japanese!

Other initiatives include the Open Translation Project, TED Fellows, the TEDx program and the annual TED Prize.

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, Ideas Worth Spreading. The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to create their own TED-like events at a local level.

TEDx events combine live presenters with TEDTalk videos to spark deep conversation and connections.

Started in 2009, the program has been embraced by groups around the world in far greater numbers than was ever expected, building on the universal desire to share ideas.

TEDx TUJ is holding it’s first annual event this year in July, 2015.

The idea behind TEDxTUJ is to allow a forum for students to not only engage more with idea leaders in their local community, but also to engage with each other in stimulating debate and collaboration. This event is also a connecting bridge linking the main campus in Philadelphia with the Tokyo campus.

TEDxTUJ is organized by a dedicated group of students, alumni, and teachers all working together to make this event a success.

What is TUJ?Temple  University,  Japan  Campus  (TUJ)  is  the  oldest  and  largest  foreign  university  in  Japan,  established  in  Tokyo  in  1982.  It  is  one  of  the  overseas  campuses  of  Temple  University,  which  was  founded  in  1884  and  is  based  in  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania.    Japan’s  Ministry  of  EducaIon,  Culture,  Sports,  Science  and  Technology  recognized  TUJ  as  the  country’s  first  Foreign  University,  Japan  Campus  in  2005.  Students  come  from  approximately  60  different  countries.    

‘FORGING NEW PATHS’Our theme this year is ‘Forging New Paths’, the idea behind this is to bring together speakers from different backgrounds and fields to speak on how they achieved success through unorthodox means.

The word paths was chosen to represent the sustainability of these alternative roads to success, with the intention of presenting something that the listeners could easily relate to and eventually adopt themselves.

The background image of the water ripples is also symbolic of the intention to “make ripples, not waves” in the hopes of evoking positive change that continues to have an effect even after the initial event.
