In honor of National Social Work month, we’re putting together a treat for all our social work colleagues, however, these talks benefit far more than social workers.
It’s easy to get so caught up in our daily routines that we forget to lift our heads up to take a break, never mind find time to expand our learning. But TED talks make it ever s
o easy to push our thinking, discover new facts, and improve our skills.
Not familiar with TED Talks? TED is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading ideas worth talking about. Originally launched in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) came together, TED talks today are powerful, brief (usually 18 minutes or less) presentations on an extensive range of topics.
Of course everybody’s got their own top 10 but here are few favorites from other social workers and professionals to get you thinking:
