TEDxStockholm: Generation WHY? Speakers Announcement

TEDxStockholm is now proud to announce the speakers for this event.

The first speaker is Herman Geijer, an expert in surviving a zombie apocalypse. 

In 2014, Herman wrote the book "Zombie Survival - Your Guide to the Apocalypse", covering everything from zombie culture to guides on how to survive disasters and articles on Sweden’s preparedness to respond to incidents.

The second in the line-up is Patrik Wincent, the founder of ”Internetakuten”, a company with the main focus to offer counseling to people who are dealing with digital stress. Patrik Wincent is an authorized psychotherapist, a coach, a writer, a lecturer and spoken word artist.

Christa Awuor, our third speaker, is at the front and centre of the mass migration and refugee crisis by working for the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Born and raised in Kenya, Christa has been residing in Sweden since 2011. She believes the best way to get ahead in life is to put yourself out there, and meet someone new. Often the best ideas and opportunities come from diversity

The final speaker is Jack Werner, who has been called "probably the most important journalist in Sweden right now", with the accolade of being awarded in 2014 The Swedish Grand Journalism Prize for his work with the fact checking effort “Viralgranskaren”.
Jack is a journalist, writer and podcaster covering social media, web culture and modern folklore.

Tickets for the event are available. The event starts at 5PM. Registration begins at 4PM at Aula Medica at Karolinska Institutet.
