TED TALKS
ON TUESDAY
Each Tuesday, the Franciscan Peace Center invites you to join in a discussion
about a specific thought-provoking TED Talk on the Sisters of St. Francis Facebook page. We will release the schedule ahead of time so that you can watch the
TED Talk when it is convenient for you. Then we invite you to visit our
Facebook page to engage in a discussion about the TED Talk.
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or fewer). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics - from science to business to global issues - in more than 100 languages. T
he presentations are always thought-provoking and help to provide a deeper understanding of the world. We look forward to our discussions with you!
The June schedule is as follows:

June 27 - Clare Conboy: A millennial's view of nuclear weapons.
Clare Conboy, an artist and millennial, has been with The Acronym Institute for Disarmament Diplomacy since February 2015. She offers her views as one who is new to the scene of advocating for nuclear disarmament and exposes us to some of the nuclear near misses and mishaps. She notes that younger generations have to decide if they want to live free from the real dangers of nuclear weapons? She notes there are currently over 15,000 nuclear weapons and that is the nuclear arsenal that millennials have inherited.
