Eudaimonia! Good ideas for living well, Central YMCA

  • Helen Kemp

Senior Producer The Breif: How do we host a TEDx style interactive conference in the YMCAs first gymnasium at Tottenham Court Road, deliver exceptional audience experience and live stream to the YMCAs global community? The event featured a variety of expert speakers, new ideas and panel discussions interspersed with live poetry and activities. The aim was to explore ways to solve the question: How can we live better in today's world? Philosopher Alain de Botton imagined the gym of the future. Anthony Painter – Director of the Action and Research Centre at the RSA – talked about the financial aspects of living well. Dr. Sam Everington – GP, former health policy advisor and chair of NHS Tower Hamlets Clinical Commissioning Group – shared some of the inspiring work taking place at Bromley By Bow Health Centre. Author and thinker Charlie Leadbeater chaired the event.
