Uroš Robič is a graduate engineer of forestry. He received The Prešeren's Award for students  for his thesis. He is a man of many interests. Among other things he's involved in workshops for children, in which he applies the idea of forest pedagogics: the woods become a creative and learning space. After graduation he searched for a job in many different fields. Set of circumstances brought him to work as a garbage collector. On the field, he saw first hand how we deal with waste. He realized that nobody knows exactly how to sort garbage in a sustainable and effective way. He wanted to make a research into this problematic and share the results with public. That is how the intriguing documentary film entitled "Plastik fantastik" came to life.

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)
