Common Grounds
2026 February 21st
We gathered to find #CommonGround
Common Ground is not about agreement. It is about the courage to remain in conversation — even when perspectives differ. It is about listening deeply, speaking honestly, and discovering where understanding begins.
That is exactly what our speakers, performers, partners, and community created together. We experienced a day full of new ideas, unexpected encounters, shared reflection, and meaningful dialogue. A day where differences met curiosity. Where tension met respect. Where strangers found connection.
Common Ground is not a destination. It is something we build — moment by moment. And on February 21, we built it together.
This was a climate- and environmentally friendly event, officially awarded as a “Green Event OÖ.”
Sustainability was not an afterthought, but part of the concept — from regional food and reusable materials to climate-friendly travel options and mindful resource use.
Because Common Ground also means shared responsibility.

What is TEDx? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxLinz, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxLinz event, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.
