Don’t miss the TEDxFukuokaWomen event this weekend – it’s the only TEDxWomen event being held in Japan. TED, a non-profit organization devoted to “Ideas Worth Spreading”, aims to engage people across the world using video technology with locally-organized events to create a space for deep discussion. TEDxFukuoka aims to contribute to strengthening Fukuoka’s cultural atmosphere by creating an united environment to explore this year’s theme of “The Space Between”, aiming to identify the areas where women seek greater understanding and compromise.The first half of the event is a live screening of the TEDxWomen conference in Washington, followed by a discussion. The second half is a series of presentations from local speakers, including Yukari Murayama, the Director of the Fukuoka Gender Equality Centre, on the theme “Ambitions”. The event will close with an after-party beginning at 17:00 (¥2,000 with alcohol; ¥1,500 without).
