The theme
Bridging Theoretical Knowledge with Real-World Practice
Knowledge often remains confined to classrooms, books, and theories, while its true value emerges when it is translated into practice, experience, solutions, and meaningful impact.
This theme explores a fundamental question: How do we move from knowing to doing?
We seek to explore the connection between theoretical concepts and practical applications, and how the knowledge we acquire can move beyond traditional learning to become a tool for understanding the world, addressing its challenges, and creating new solutions.

Follow on InstagramWhat 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 TEDxGedik University, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxGedik University event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. Speakers never pay to join a TEDx event. Consideration, speaker coaching and event participation along with attendance are all provided free of charge. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
