TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience, and in the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx events combine TED Talks videos and live speakers to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded as TEDx, where x represents an independently organized TED event.

Msheireb Museums is more than just a center for tourism and history; it is also an educational and cultural hub that plays an integral role in creating awareness and educating the community. The Museums at Msheireb Downtown Doha have established a range of national and international partnerships, adding tremendous value to Qatar’s cultural and social landscape, and enhancing its position as a leading center for community engagement.
