The TEDx Program is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to spark conversation and connection through local TED-like experiences.

The first TEDx event at the University of Sussex, organised by Lukasz Alwast, was held on the 27th of April 2012.

The theme of the event was “The Hidden Wonders”. A hidden wonder… A world of complexity behind something seemingly simple, or the pure, basic essence within what appears to be convoluted. Generating new ideas or taking an innovative angle on an everyday issue or question, revealing a surprising connection between what at first look, seemed unrelated.
A thought, a perception, a twist, an unexpected connection that inspires awe, astonishment, admiration; the marvels that provoke surprise and accentuate curiosity. See the world through new lenses and discover the hidden wonders.
