Internet is connecting the world, changing the way we live, work and communicate. But what does this mean for a regular people. TEDxMokrin will discover ideas depicting how life has changed in the villages as a result of globalisation and how globalisation is making the world one big village. In TEDxMokrin, we will discover local “ldeas worth spreading” along with the global stories affecting rural communities.
Ivan Brkljač is the license holder for TEDxMokrin and will host this event on our estate. The speakers and other information, will be released in the first week of July.
