We are looking forward to the talks and our audience.
[/vc_column_text][basix_h2_nm heading_text=”The motto” heading_align=”center”][vc_column_text]Our view of the future has changed. Great optimism prevailed during the twentieth century: technological progress was presumed to be the key to a better world. It was thought that: the more technology evolves, the more our lives on earth would be worth living. And indeed – the quality of our lives has increased.
However, our beautiful picture of the future is getting clouded. How can we continue living, if our way of living is destroying the environment? Where will we live when climate change forces people to move elsewhere? How can we educate ourselves if today’s knowledge is already outdated tomorrow? How can we live together, when true encounters are increasingly displaced by virtual encounters?
It is becoming increasingly clear that we have to work together! It is important to cooperate hand in hand from all areas of society in order to achieve a future worth living for. From our point of view, this means that we must ask ourselves, on both a large, as well as on a small scale, what impact our actions today have on a worthwhile tomorrow.
Therefore, this year we invite speakers who actively help to shape these processes to “TEDxMagdeburg – A future worth building”. People who have learned from their experiences, to be used for the future. People who put their dreams into action. People who do not shy away from challenges. People whose daily actions allow us to look forward to a livable future. People who are focused on our own people.
One way or the other, the future is coming. Let’s make it worth living![/vc_column_text][divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][basix_h2_nm heading_text=”Program” heading_align=”center”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]13:00[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Entrance[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]14:00[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]

How and under what circumstances do we perceive ourselves as happy or successful? What consequences does the mentality of “higher, faster, further” have on our way to success? Is a slow-paced way of living in our modern age actually the right way to happiness? And what role does love for things and our actions play in our everyday lives? Do we have to change ourselves to be truly happy and successful people? His scientific findings from his master’s thesis on the resonance theory of Hartmut Rosa serve as the basis for the lecture.
To the person: Ralf Dounz-Weigt (39) is a social worker from and currently working in Magdeburg. He is socially active and so far pursued the question whether people’s engagement is even possible in sustainable projects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2136″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][basix_h3_nm heading_text=”Victoria Hofmann”][vc_column_text]For the presentation: Victoria Hofmann is dedicated to the question what determines a prosperous longterm releationship. She experiences that our society often treats relationships like products which we consume. Once they are broken, people tend to throw them away instead of fixing them. The digital era offers plenty of opportunities to find a partner, however people stay lonely and discontent. Victoria Hofmann believes that a true understanding of love and interpersonal relations is one of the bases for future developments.
To the person: Victoria Hofmann (21) studies media literacy at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. Apart from university she has a passion for cooking, painting and writing.

Rarely does time remain to reflect upon unpleasant experiences and feelings. We just seem to be functioning while losing ourselves. However, a constructive approach to dealing with negatively perceived experiences would be beneficial. Franz Peter Mosa takes us on a journey to the darker side of our lives and shows how we can learn and grow from them.
To the person: Franz Peter Mosa (31) lives in Erfurt and coaches instructors in the field of first aid and emergency medicine. He believes that no suffering would have been undergone in vain. Authenticity and happiness are more important to him than social etiquette and always having to be right. He travels a lot, loves being in nature and is a self-proclaimed fan of Doctor Who.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2124″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][basix_h3_nm heading_text=”Denis Leo Hegic”][vc_column_text]For the presentation: Denis Leo Hegic has learned that art is the best non-verbal communication tool. Urban Art is the largest, global, contemporary art movement. Often it is created in real time: what is streamed in the morning news, gets created on the same afternoon in the form of art on one of the many concrete walls of the city. In a world, where sharp rhetoric continues to spread, this non-verbal language, expressed as art in public spaces and is freely accessible to all, gains special significance. In his lecture he wants to open our hearts to this human form of expression and encourage us to create positive places in the city with art and culture.
To the person: Denis Leo Hegic (38) works as a curator. His love is for the type of art that is hidden and yet visible, the language of the oppressed, enlightened- distilled – substantiated, which gives our nostalgia, destructiveness, joy and ecstasy a structure.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1561311190209{margin-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #f1f1f1 !important;}”][vc_column][basix_h2_nm heading_text=”Impressions of the day” heading_align=”center”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_slide” interval=”0″ images=”2005,1982,1976,1978,1980,1952,1954,1956,1958,1960,1962,1964,1966,1968,1970,1972,1974,2003″ img_size=”large” css=”.vc_custom_1540411067489{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text]

For many years, the state capital has been supporting projects and initiatives that promote the city. An important concern of economic development is to support founders and encourage them to realize their innovative ideas and creative visions in Magdeburg. Therefore, the Gründerstadt Magdeburg network was founded in 2017. A creative start-up scene and a versatile, lively city thrive on lateral thinkers who are eager to implement new ideas, carry them out into the world and look toward the future. We support TEDx as a partner because we want to stimulate the creative spirit of development and promote the exchange between creators and audience.”
