What are xPeriences?


xPERIENCES are independently organized, live community engagements under the TEDxPanaji umbrella. Each xPERIENCE is designed to:
 

  1. Celebrate Local – Highlight Goa’s culture, challenges, innovations, and voices.
     

  2. Expand Ideas – Extend conversations from the TEDx stage into immersive, real-world events.
     

  3. Enable Participation – Create shared spaces for dialogue, exploration, and co-creation.
     

  4. Bridge Global and Local – Position Goa’s narratives within global movements in technology, design, sustainability, art, and more.
     

These are not ancillary events — xPERIENCES are integral to how TEDxPanaji builds impact before, during, and after the main event.

The Khazan xPerience

Explore the hidden gem of Goa on Chorao Island through an immersive journey across mangroves, Khazan lands, and a traditional farm. This TEDxPanaji xPERIENCE seamlessly combines nature, culture, and mindful living while supporting local communities.

 

Your day begins with a mangrove walk and boat ride through Goa's unique ecosystem. Next, a guided Khazan walk unveils ancient water-management systems. The journey continues with a visit to a Kulhagar farm, where you'll discover organic farming, spices, and traditional food preservation techniques.

The experience culminates with a sumptuous Saraswat buffet lunch and a live cashew roasting demonstration, offering an authentic taste of Goan heritage.

Time: 8 AM–2PM

Contribution: Rs. 1500/- per person (includes boat ride, guided walks, lunch & demos)

 

At TEDxPanaji, we believe powerful ideas thrive in community wisdom, sustainability, and traditions. This xPERIENCE celebrates Goa's living heritage while empowering those who preserve it.

 

VISION

At TEDxPanaji, we believe ideas deserve to be experienced. Our vision is to extend the TEDx philosophy of "Ideas Change Everything" into real-world spaces — through deeply local, thoughtfully curated xPERIENCES that build momentum all year long and spark meaningful dialogue within our community.

MISSION

Our mission is to design a continuous engagement platform through xPERIENCES that reflect Goa’s unique identity while addressing global themes. We aim to foster connection, provoke thought, and encourage action through experiences that are participatory, reflective, and resonant.

Why xPeriences Matter


The lowercase "x" in TEDx stands for "independently organized," and xPERIENCES embody that spirit fully. These are curated expressions of local identity, shaped independently but aligned with TED’s core mission — spreading ideas that change lives.

Why they’re essential to TEDxPanaji:

 

  • Year-Round Engagement – They allow our audience to stay engaged long before and after event day.
     

  • Community Connection – They bring TEDx closer to the people, outside traditional stages.
     

  • Local Impact – They highlight Goa-specific issues and ideas that might not make it to a mainstage talk but are equally vital.
     

Idea Activation – They convert inspiration into action, bridging the gap between awareness and agency.
