TEDxMälaren - Anne-Marie Körling - You Can't Imagine I am a Teacher

Anne-Marie is an Educator, Blogger, Writer and Columnist. She received the The Swedish Academy Award, The Swedish Teacher of the Year 2006 and Microsoft Innovative Teacher 200. Now amongst the most progressive educators in Haninge Kommun, Stockholm, Sweden.

Anne is passionate about the way children are always learning and how schools should meet children with a hundred ways of education, rather than giving them one way. She will talk about how a teacher can make a difference, change, participate and feed forward.

TEDxMälaren (June 15, 2010) was organized by a bunch of quirky students from Singapore while on exchange in Sweden.

The name Mälaren comes from Lake Mälaren, the third largest lake in Sweden. Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea on its eastern end to form 14 major islands, thus shaping Stockholm.

Just like Lake Mälaren that connects towns across Sweden, TEDxMälaren will connect topics in featuring a holistic perspective of inter-linked global issues through the audience, the organizers and speakers of diverse backgrounds, with different forms of media.

TEDxMälaren aims to reach beyond the Scandinavian seas and explore the influence of cultural, political and socio-economic diversity on the way we think, and ought to think for a better future.

About TEDx, x = independently organised event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised 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-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.
