TEDxSanAntonio Compassion, Caring, Community

TEDxSanAntonio is a community of thinkers, explorers, makers, doers, performers, and artists who believe passionately in the power of ideas as a catalyst for positive change in San Antonio and around the world. In the spirit of TED’s mission, we aim to gather people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world.

Our goal is to produce events that feature stimulating performances, discussions, entertainment, and art that spark new ideas and foster real dialogue on issues that matter to our community.

The TEDxSanAntonio Compassion, Caring, Community took inspiration from CompassionateUSA, a people centered campaign committed to promotion compassion, community, healing, and well-being. Compassionate USA is a collaboration between the Alamo Colleges District, the San Antonio Peace Center, and the City of San Antonio. Our Compassion, Caring, Community event will feature talks that address compassionate responses to many types of human interaction like:

understanding and respecting of others backgrounds, cultures and perspectives
social responsibility for individuals and community
collective trauma and collective healing
emotional intelligence
