Giving Back - Philanthropy in the Community : Jodie Van Der Velden at TEDxBMIHMS

Jodie Van Der Velden began her career in Human Resource management, then moved into the non-profit sector after seven years where she managed community organisations. After the arrival of her daughters, Jodie studied early childhood education and modern history. In 2005 Jodie established Josophan's Fine Chocolates in the village of Leura, Blue Mountains, Australia, and now manages two chocolate stores, a cafe, and there is a gingerbread house on the horizon! Jodie is a fierce advocate of fair and ethical trade in the chocolate and business arena.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Recorded at our Cello & Chocolate event in a former church, now called The Gingerbread House in Katoomba / Blue Mountains Australia, owned by Josophan's Fine Chocolates, Leura, one of the world's best chocolate makers - that's not exaggerated!
The set up is: half an hour of music, then location change to the other side of the Gingerbread house (an inside construction in the centre of the church) to the long oak table set with candles and chocolate dessert - after the dessert back to the concert chairs for a second 1/2 hour of music. I forgot to mention, the concept of the event has proven successful.

Next performance of Georg & Giuseppe at The Gingerbread House
