Connected communities - humans the glue, technology the brush. | Chris Dearaugo | TEDxBendigo

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Human connections in networks are as important as technological networks. If we want to see our communities grow we need to create the space where people can meet and work together with a common purpose. When this occurs creative solutions to difficult situations arise.

Chris DeAraugo is the National Community Strengthening Manager for Bendigo & Adelaide Bank. Chris works with Community Bank boards and their communities assisting them to develop business plans that better connect their business to the local community.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
