Raising questions and getting people to think is the focus of a series of talks that went on Saturday morning at Ohio State Lima.   This is the second year for the TEDxFaurot Park talks.  This year’s theme was humanity and they had speakers from different parts of the country who spoke on a variety of topics, like connecting with loved ones who are dealing with drug addiction, creating peace during conflict, and how to understand a child who identifies as the opposite sex that they were born as.  The whole point of TED and TEDx talks are to bring out ideas worth spreading, and organizers want to make sure they find the right speaker to convey a thought-provoking message. 

An independently organized TEDx event was held at the Lima Civic Center on Saturday. The TEDxFaurot Park event brought a variety of guest speakers to the Lima area to discuss topics centered around the community.
