TEDxVictoria - David Leach: Kibbutzing Your 'Hood

A kibbutz, in Hebrew, means simply "a gathering". David Leach talks about how contemporary communities in British Columbia, Canada and beyond can learn from the successes (and mistakes) of the kibbutz movement.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I really enjoyed Mr. Leach's presentation and agree with his ideas. I am also a former kibbutz volunteer, and I especially loved the sense of belonging and community that came with living on the kibbutz.

Kibbutzim ideals no longer work & I've lived & worked on many 30 years ago maybe & to think you wanna place these ideas in the real world... Are you mad....? Seems to me that you like the sound of your own voice time to wake up & smell the roses bro.... This is the real world & not cuckoo-land where you dwell.

There is no such thing as doing an ideal place from the scratch.

Utopia is freedom to easily change and enable a fast evolving and diverse world.
