They give us space and they limit us. Sometimes we experience them, sometimes we can only inquire them. They secure our freedom, but they can also restrict our lives and creativity. That’s why we want to explore boundaries by asking the following question: Does this limit restrict me or does it offer me room for development and expansion of potential?
“Minds Without Borders” stands for people who keep their childish joy of exploring. People who question themselves and their environment fearlessly and without prejudice. People who consciously deal with their inner and outer boundaries. People who draw our attention to limits in our thinking and action, create more space for themselves and others and bravely advance into unknown terrain.
We offered these people a stage to share their experience with others. In the understanding of borders, we see a key to a healthy coexistence and -working. As long as we remain active in conversation and in the community, we grow through and with our limits at the same time. Some will be removed, others transformed, rediscovered, or retained in inner conviction. Together, we pushed borders and used them to create a strengthened awareness for ourselves and our environment. In order to improve the cohabitation in our world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][basix_h2_nm heading_text=”Our talks” heading_align=”center”][vc_column_text]At TEDxMagdeburg 8 talks with the slogan “Minds Without Borders – Köpfe ohne Grenzen” were presented.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”608″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1506535863518{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Prof. Dr. Graham Horton[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][basix_h3_nm heading_text=”Everyone can have good ideas!”][vc_column_text]Developing ideas is not a question of talent or intuition by chance.
