What is TEDx?

In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxValletta, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxValletta event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

The Vine Through Time: What Wine Stories Teach Us About the Complexity of Social Life

Wine making can be considered a total social phenomenon. This is born of the complexity of a sector that straddles practically every aspect of social life. Wine making is both a science and an art where tradition and innovation come together to create a cultural product. It bears a complex history that reflects social change, highlights the tensions between industrialisation and artisanal production. Yet succeeds when tradition and innovation work together. Wine-making can be seen as heritage-making which in turn contributes to identity and the valorisation of local territories. Consumption also shows up social approaches to taste and transforms into a complete sensory experience.

Trust is the secret ingredient that made humanity evolve from caves to space. Trust allows us to cooperate and build civilization.
