We Should Get to Know Each Other: Mark Hopkins at TEDxCalgary

Mark shares how bridging different bubbles of social groups can help to build compassion and understanding for the other. As a host of regular 'We Should Know Each Other' parties, Mark has brought together thousands of Calgarians all for the simple purpose of getting to know each other.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is a very good idea Mark. Possibly the beginnings of global peace, atleast awareness of one another. Spread the word.
