TedX: Down's Syndrome - Beyond the Barrier of Fear

Ted, and the independently run TedX events, are a worldwide series of talks based on 'ideas worth spreading'. You may be a huge fan, or equally may never have heard of them.

Just over a year ago I was asked if I would like to do a TedX Talk at the local TedX Truro event. I jumped at the chance with a mix of pride and excitement at first. This was a massive honour, a big challenge, but I hoped I was up to it. I've been a huge fan of this international network of talks for years, often turning to them to lighten mood, become inspired, fuel curiosity or learn more while going about my chores, instead of having the radio bumbling away. I've learnt so much from thewide range of speakers.

Ted says we each have a story inside us and that the world becomes a smaller, kinder place if we listen to one another's tales. Apparently 13-18 minutes is the perfect time slot to inspire  or educate someone who is not an expert in your field.
