As we begin to heal and to search for solutions in response to these moments, TEDxPhiladelphia is hosting a TEDxPhiladelphiaSalon event that will explore how to rebuild and find a sense of community and togetherness, even with 6 feet of distance between us.
Join TEDxPhiladelphia on August 27 as we debut a new TEDx talk from Lisa Nelson-Haynes, Executive Director of Philadelphia Young Playwrights, on the complexities of community during this new normal. Guests will also have the chance to examine their own definition of community through a guided, facilitated discussion, and learn more about Lisa’s experiences with a Q&A to close the event.
