Weaving together global events and his personal story, Hossli explores the need for interdependence rather than independence asking all of us to take care of the global family.

For the past 20 years Walter Hossli has been the driving force behind the non-profit Momentum. Momentum has won the Community Achievement Award from the City of Calgary. It has been recognized by the Tides Canada Foundation, by Charity Intelligence as one of the most effective organizations in Calgary. This year Momentum has been named as one of Alberta's top 50 employers.

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)
