TEDxOltrarno: A Hub of Innovation and Sustainability in Florence

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, September 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- I’m back in Italy and I’ll pass by Florence again in these days. Such a great city and great memories. Few days ago I had such an amazing opportunity to speak for TEDxOltrarno.

The historic city of Florence became a hub of innovation, inspiration, and sustainability when it hosted TEDxOltrarno at Teatro del Sale. This independently organized TEDx event offered a day of thought-provoking talks, groundbreaking ideas, and transformative experiences centered on the urgent theme of sustainability.

What is TEDx?
Originating in the United States, TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading ideas through short, powerful talks. TEDx events are independently organized under a TED license, allowing communities worldwide to emulate the TED experience. These events bring people together to share a TED-like experience, fostering learning, inspiration, and wonder, and sparking important conversations.

OZI: The Forest Friend Debuted in this Beautiful Setting
OZI, the captivating mascot and protagonist of a new animated film produced by Hollywood luminaries Leonardo DiCaprio, Mike Medavoy, and Adam Stanhope of CGI Films, debuted at the event. OZI embodied hope, courage, and the relentless fight to protect our forests and our planet. Attendees had the exclusive opportunity to hear from Adam Stanhope himself as he delved into OZI’s inspiring journey and the powerful message of the film aimed at galvanizing younger generations toward a sustainable future.
