2019 - Future To Go?
For another year TEDxMünster was held in the theatre and the evening went way too fast. It sold out early! The theme ‘Future to go? was inspired by the German disposable coffee cup ‘to go’ and what would any discussion on the future be without climate change? Carla Reemstsma, a local Friday For Future activist, Laura Gatti, a specialist in green cities, Thomas Bartoscheck, developer of the ‘sense box’ for citizens to collect climate data, Max Volhard, a scientist working on biodegradable plastic, Thobias Sudhoff, a sustainable food chef all gave their views. Johann Butting, Max Kops, David Middelbeck and Alessandro Crimi, talked about digitalization and new ways of working, financing, learning or socialising. We were also entertained by Bridget Fonkeu and her experience with immigration, Koen Schobbers, a professional in e-sports and Sara Espinoza, a researcher on UV radiation and nanotechnology for cancer patients. 7 Miles Music band, Martin Mall, entertainer and the moderators Christoph Salzig and Wiebke Borgers provided some pauses between the thinking on talks.
