TEDxAmsterdam is delighted to present all delegates at the Royal Tropical Institute with a wonderful bag of gifts. A warm thanks to all the partners that generously contributed to it. Please find below some information on the bag and the items contained in it.
And in the spirit of TEDx –these are gifts worth spreading. We asked all delegates to give away at least one item to someone who could not make it to this event!
THE BAG
Why is this not just a bag?
TEDxAmsterdam is proud to collaborate with !SYOU, a brand new international sneaker concept, pioneers of co-design and creators of the fantastic goodie bag TEDx visitors will be sporting on the streets of Amsterdam this week. Co-design is a fine idea. It brings together emerging creative talent from around the world and established fashion designers to create new sneaker concepts, part-produced using locally sourced materials and feeding a fair share of the retail price directly back into the local creative community to help stimulate economic development. The bag and !SYOU’s first edition sneaker originate from Burkina Faso and feature the work of local artist Wilfried de Paul. If this sounds like your bag, follow them on: www.isyou.com

PPP-stamp in a box
This is the simplest sustainable score mechanism ever! Give your opinion in a personal score and the discussion will start, as soon as someone sees your (subjective) opinion.
That’s the idea behind the PPP-stamp that the SenterNovem program ‘Learning for Sustainable Development’ gives to all participants of the TEDx Amsterdam meeting.
Dare to give your opinion on the balance People, Planet and Profit. Give your score, today, on the TEDx-conference or your next project, the plan of your (local) government or other initiative. For more information: www.senternovem.nl/lvdo
It is the first worldwide completely subjective score instrument on sustainable development: dare to give yourself a real score!!

We don’t seem to care. Or healthcare. What if modern day nutrition in combination with an increasingly passive lifestyle makes our children more sensitive to obesity? The campaign raises the questions, Achmea facilitates the discussion and in the best possible scenario its insurance brands have solutions or will come up with them. But not in all cases.
