TEDxHagueAcademySalon Secure Societies

The word 'secure' has lots of different meanings for all of us. But most would agree that ‘security’ ranks up there with ‘peace’, ‘freedom’ and ‘justice’ as one of those concepts that can be debated, pulled apart, disagreed about – but is essential to our lives. 

Our Secure Societies Salon was a fun and focused evening packed with ideas worth spreading, dealing with thought-provoking questions: What does it mean to live in a Secure Society? What are the new elements that are needed to help us towards security? What’s the balance between security and freedom?Our partner The Hague University provided a great location full of young, energetic, international students, at an inspiring, enriching and engaging evening.
