TEDx Pitsmoor is about local Pitsmoor people, unused to public speaking, who want to say something that is interesting or entertaining, or both (although an interesting speaker who wants to come and join in from another part of Sheffield would also be welcome).
The TEDx organisers would really feel like they have succeeded if, in the process, speakers gain new skills and the confidence to speak. They are looking for balanced views that are powerfully made. They also want to make time for tea, lots of cake and local people to meet up. It is about Pitsmoor having a voice.
They have some excellent potential speakers for this year’s event who are starting to plan and rehearse their talks. The brilliant speakers from last year have been helping with the organisation and mentoring speakers.
Free entry, no tickets, no reservations. Aimed at adults, but, if your child is capable of listening to a dozen 10 minute talks, with music, stories and poems as punctuation, that child is very welcome. Noisy children will be asked to leave.
There will be a pro film crew for the videos, the event is free, and there is no sponsor, just local good will.
