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.

Words can change the world: how language learning deepens connection | Louka Parry | TEDxAdelaide


Why learn another language? Words provide us with the ability for connection, empathy and perspective-taking. And when you learn multiple languages you improve your brain, you accelerate your capacity to learn, and you become a better communicator. Vitally, you are also able to step into the world of another human being. To truly understand them and speak to their heart. The question isn’t why should you learn a language, it’s why wouldn’t you. Louka Parry is an award-winning educator and hyperlearner who speaks five languages, holds two Masters degrees and has traveled to over 50 countries. After growing up monolingual in the city of Adelaide, Australia, Louka moved to Europe and uncovered a passion for languages, culture and learning. He returned to Australia to become a teacher and began his career in a very remote Aboriginal community, now working globally to help transform schools and learning. He continues to accumulate languages and advocates for all of us to step into the unknown to grow, connect and thrive.

الأحلام تستحق المخاطرة | آمال إبراهيم | TEDxAlhamraaLive


تحكي لنا آمال قصتها مع صراعها الذاتي التي بدأت منذ 2006 حيث اكتشفت حينها بأن رغباتها كثيرة ومتعددة خلاف بقية الأطفال، وذكرت بأن زيارتها لجامعة دار الحكمة في المرحلة الثانوية كانت بمثابة رحلة استكشاف لذاتها استطاعت من خلالها تحديد تخصصها الجامعي. وأخيرًا وضّحت لنا آمال بأنها قررت مُصاحبة صوتها الداخلي، حيث كان أعلى ارتفاعاً من بقية الأصوات التي حولها محاولاً بذلك التخفيف من شدّة الاحباط الذي أصابها، وأشارت بأنه كان بمثابة الدليل الواضح لها في كثير من الأحيان وهو الذي أوصلها إلى ما هي عليه الآن.

Іргелі ғылымның маңызы | СҰРАҒАН ДУРВУДХАН | TEDxAlmaty


Іргелі ғылымның маңызын барлық адам түсінетін сияқты, бірақ шын мәнінде оның қажеттілігі мен пайдасын көп адам түсіндіріп бере алмайды. Іргелі ғылымның негізгі міндеті табиғаттағы немесе қоғамдағы үрдісті неліктен солай болатынын түсіндіру. Жұлдыздар шаң-тозаң, газдардың шоғырланып тығыздығы артқан кезде жаратылады. Сол сияқты білім де бастапқыда көзге көрінбейді. Бірақ белгілі бір тығыздықты қалыптастырған кезде революциялық ойларды тудырады — қоғамда және ғылым мен техникада прогресс жасалады.

More than funny | Michael Jr. | TEDxUniversityofNevada


With comedy, you not only laugh but you also gain understanding in a unique way. Comedy has a setup and then a punch line. The setup moves the audience in one direction-toward what is expected. The punch line occurs when you change direction and take the audience to the unexpected. This same process can be applied to life. Comedian Michael Jr. shows how to take your lifes setups and then change direction in a way that brings fulfillment, revelation, and joy not only to you but also to those around you.

Once in a generation, a comedian comes along who speaks to everyone. Today, that comedian is known simply as Michael Jr.

Watch him onstage and you’ll see a man at ease…with himself, his audience, and his message. Listen to his voice and you’ll detect a comfortable, conversational style that hides a sly sense of mischief. Hear his words and you’ll laugh at the universal themes that connect us all.
