TEDxToronto highlights

From outcomes to impact

SSE-O opens its doors

TEDxToronto: Alchemy in action by Elisa Birnbaum

Each of the speakers at the October 26th TEDxToronto event has the inspired and inspirational capacity to "bring ordinary elements together to make something extraordinary." This magical process offers up a new way of looking at the world. But these speakers, nay activists, are doing even more. They're providing our communities with infinite possibilities for growth, sustainability...and hope.

Read on for highlights from each of this year's 15 speakers.

Four factors to consider when evaluating outcomes by Stephanie Robertson and Anne Miller

In recent years there has been a shift in the field of program evaluation from activities-based to outcomes-based evaluation practice.

Changing landscapes: SSE-O opens its doors by Sam Saad

Toronto is a city of plenty. Its present course reminds me of those 1950s commercials about industrial "cities on the go". Voted in the top 10 cities for innovation by Melbourne's 2thinknow Consultancy Firm and the 7th best place to live by the Economist Intelligence Unit, one can understand why the School for Social Entrepreneurs chose Toronto as its inaugural North American home. Opening in August of this year, and welcoming the first cohort of 20 students on September 14th, SSE has found fertile ground in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
