The talks at TEDxRadboudU will all concern a central theme. The central theme for TEDxRadboudU 2013 is Rebuilding Trust.

Imagine a world without trust: personal relations would be doomed to fail and our social institutions would not be able function. We are facing a decreasing confidence in our institutions. Their authority is beginning to crack, due to democratization, individualization and increasing personal autonomy. On a positive note, a critical attitude towards our institutions and their claims forces them to stay alert and prepared for change. But if distrust, as the dark side of a critical attitude, takes over what does that mean for our society?

What is trust? Why is it so important? And when trust is lacking, how can it be rebuilt? That’s what TEDxRadboudU is all about. Inspirational talks, different angles and new perspectives.

During the conference day, this theme will be addressed in three sessions. The start of the day will focus on the understanding of trust. Next, we will move on to (dis-)trust in action. The day will finish with a session on how trust kan be rebuilt.
