The TEDxPalermo Talk by Reda Berradi was held in the morning of April30th. The location due to bad weather was changed at the very last minute with the studio427.
Reda Berradi, Philosopher of Moroccan Origin, now 34 years old, arrived in Palermo with his parents 25 years ago when visas and residence permits didn’t exist yet. After the Literature and Philosophy degree he began a career as a cultural mediator. Moreover he founded “La Casa delle Culture” in the historic district Danisinni as a shared place in which different cultures bursting in the city come together to share their cultural diversity. Reda represents “La Casa delle Culture” with the motto: “To know and learn Cultures you can travel around the world. I have decided to let the world pass by my house”. He is currently the President of UMIP-Palermo.
In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading”, TED has created a program called TEDx, of local events, organized independently, that bring people together to share an experience similar to the one you live with TED. The TED Conference provides general guidance for all the TEDx events, but local events are made independently. http://www.tedxpalermo.com
