Seán Love is Executive Director of Fighting Words Creative Writing Centre, which he co-founded with author Roddy Doyle. Located in the shadow of Croke Park in Dublin's north inner city, Fighting Words provides free tutoring and mentoring in creative writing to students of all ages, and has hosted more than 40,000 children and young adults since opening in January 2009. Seán believes that creative writing is an essential part of every child's education and feels Fighting Words helps students of all ages explore their love of writing. Inspired by Dave Eggers' 826 Valencia project in the US, it has itself inspired several similar centres around Europe.

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)
