TED Talks
Today I’m talking about two amazing projects, the “Our Talks” and the TED Talks. They’re basically the same thing, but one is inspired on the other.
The Our Talks is a project that our English teacher Vivi created based on TED, so the first and second high school year students could express their opinion about what’s going on in our world. I had the pleasure to go on this year’s edition, and it was amazing. The energy was great, and the courage of the ones speaking in front of a full auditorium was admirable, some of them couldn’t even speak English that well, but they were there anyway, to express their opinion about subjects that we should talk more at school (gender equality, disarming, equality and justice, etc), and to try to make some difference. In my opinion, it’s really inspiring.
The actual TED is basically the same, but instead of high school students, we see people from all over the world talking about important subjects about our world. There are a lot of great TEDs, but one in special called my attention, it’s a muslin woman who lives in Gaza, she helps the journalists that want to write about what’s going on there. She tells us a few life stories, and how dangerous her work might be, but she continues to do it because the stories, the good and the bad, need to be told, the world needs to pay attention.
