Disabled Progress: Oli Monks at TEDxLancasterU

Oli Monks is a second year Management and Entrepreneurship student at Lancaster University. Growing up with an autistic and chronically ill brother has inspired Oli to become involved in fundraising and social enterprise. This has led to a particular commitment to effect social change. He will explore the ways in which levels of connectivity have progressed in society and what we can do better.

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)
