TED Democracy Live - Twinbrook Library

America's 250 and the Future of Democracy

This thought-provoking event features 15 brand-new, democracy-focused TED Talks delivered in Philadelphia, the birthplace of modern democracy.

This year, MCPL is partnering with Visit Philadelphia for a live stream of their TED Democracy Philadelphia Founding Futures program. This thought-provoking event features 15 brand-new, democracy-focused TED Talks delivered in Philadelphia, the birthplace of modern democracy, and will be livestreamed across the nation. 

Livestream library partners will receive a unique opportunity to engage their community in meaningful conversations about democracy and access to world-class content from TED Democracy speakers.

Stop by any time during the day's event to view live the discussion at hand. In addition, Twinbrook Library will have some crafts to accompany the event (while supplies last).
