By creating a platform where people can exchange their experiences and help each other learn, we can facilitate their learning and further growth. TEDxDelftWomen brings women together from many different walks of life and allows them to become more than they were.

4) What do you see in common between your company and TEDxDelftWomen? 

There are many shared values between TEDxDelftWomen and the Public Affairs Academy. We believe both are platforms for the sharing of knowledge and experience and the coming together of professionals committed to furthering their own and other’s issues. This sharing of knowledge and experience happens on many levels and there is openness for people from all walks of life.

Just as TEDxDelftWomen tries to give experts a stage to share with an audience their understanding, the Public Affairs Academy collaborates with experts in the field to bring the most up-to-date and cutting-edge information to our own audience both in the room and over our social media channels.

But we also make sure that our audience has the opportunity to interact and discuss with the experts in order to personalize their learning experience. In that shared belief we feel that TEDx Delft Women and the Public Affairs Academy can both enrich the learning experience of their audiences.
