Be the Shift!

From young to old, we have to deal with change. For this second TEDxOpenUniversiteitHeerlen, we have asked inspired speakers to address the theme Be the Shift! In response to the constant changes, our speakers did not stiffen or rebel, but took action. What shifts have they seen coming in their lives or work? How do they deal with these shifts? How did they start moving?

Looking back! Watch the TEDx Talks!

Many thanks to all the speakers for their inspiring stories! For a first impression, check out the aftermovie.
All TEDx Talks have been recorded in full and the videos are posted on this website and the TED-platform.
Enjoy!
