TEDxØygarden is a locally organised, independent TEDx event, taking place for the first time in Øygarden, Norway. Our mission is to bring together bold thinkers, researchers, creators, and community voices to share ideas worth spreading – ideas that challenge perspectives, spark action, and inspire hope. Øygarden is a place where tradition meets transformation, shaped by wild nature, ocean industries, and people who care deeply about their future. At TEDxØygarden, we believe that real change begins with listening to one another, across sectors, generations, and experiences. We want to create a stage for powerful stories and big questions. How can we protect what matters, while embracing new possibilities? What does progress look like when we include both nature and people? Join us as we dive beneath the surface, to explore what lies behind the challenges we face, and the solutions we may not have discovered yet. This is TEDx – local voices, global impact. Welcome to TEDxØygarden.
