In conversation with Lee Lawrence and Dr. Adam Elliott-Cooper, hosted by Lizzie Cho.

TEDxLadbrokeGrove is hosting a series of virtual events from now through till January exploring the issues of the moment. We'll be inviting speakers to explore Race, Education, Economic Equity, Science and more to acknowledge where we are now and how we move forward from 2020.

2020 has shaken things up, how do we move forward for a better world together?

The sessions will bring people together from different backgrounds to explore these themes, hear different perspectives and learn from one another. The sessions will be panel discussions and we invite you to submit questions to be posed to the experts – there will also be the opportunity to connect with others and continue the conversation after the main event.

Join us for our final virtual event this year:

Friday 27th November: Black Lives Matter, where are we now?

We look forward to you joining us.

With thanks to our sponsors Nova New Opportunities and The Great Get Together.
