In the spirit of "ideas worth spreading," TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world's l
eading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at http://ted.com/ TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland
TEDxArabInternationalUniversity came to life at February 23rd after believing that we need to spread our ideas and stories through TEDx in our country that we want to put the spotlight on ,
TEDxArabInternationalUniversity is an independently organized event held by its students . Our mission is to prove the resilience and perseverance of the Syrian people who refuse to let this crisis feed on their hopes and dreams. Proving that everyone has a message to deliver and spread his/her own success story around the world.
“Together Breaking Barriers” is our main event theme, which we found suits the best with our ideas and stories that we want to share with the world , Because many creative minds managed to shine despite every challenge and every barrier in our community we wanted to share their experience with YOU!
