1
00:00:00,489 --> 00:00:03,578
In 3 years over 3200 events
in 126 countries and 47 languages

2
00:00:03,602 --> 00:00:05,309
13,000 TEDxTalks
one conversation.

3
00:00:05,334 --> 00:00:08,761
Anwar Dafa-Alla: Typical TEDxsters
are dreaming about big stuff.

4
00:00:08,841 --> 00:00:12,634
How they can do something
bigger than themselves.

5
00:00:12,777 --> 00:00:14,887
And they are dreamers.

6
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:17,847
Jim Stoltze: And if you find somebody
who shares your dream,

7
00:00:17,958 --> 00:00:19,565
step up to him or her,

8
00:00:19,696 --> 00:00:21,725
and ask, "How can I help?"

9
00:00:21,852 --> 00:00:24,169
"How can I bring your idea further?"

10
00:00:24,261 --> 00:00:26,433
Yahay AlAbdeli: I told him,
"I have a dream."

11
00:00:26,458 --> 00:00:29,515
"I want to bring this experience
to Iraq, to Baghdad."

12
00:00:29,603 --> 00:00:34,412
TEDx is what brought me back
to my home country.

13
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:37,545
And the reason I waited so many years,

14
00:00:37,570 --> 00:00:39,728
I didn't want to go empty-handed.

15
00:00:39,855 --> 00:00:44,030
I found something that could
make an impact in my country.

16
00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:45,896
And in this case, it was TED.

17
00:00:46,298 --> 00:00:48,726
I started watching videos on TED.com.

18
00:00:48,835 --> 00:00:51,301
I was really inspired,
didn't sleep the whole night.

19
00:00:51,326 --> 00:00:53,823
The next day, OK,
if this thing inspires me,

20
00:00:54,443 --> 00:00:57,846
Then, why not? I'm going to share this
in my community in Ethiopia.

21
00:00:57,871 --> 00:00:59,370
Part of my community in Serbia.

22
00:00:59,395 --> 00:01:01,212
- This is my community.
- My community.

23
00:01:01,237 --> 00:01:05,163
Communities that are tucked away
in villages across the world.

24
00:01:05,188 --> 00:01:08,663
To tell the world that we have
great thinkers and doers.

25
00:01:08,688 --> 00:01:11,749
The sum of the local is the global.

26
00:01:11,774 --> 00:01:15,135
Turn off the TV,
log off from the Internet

27
00:01:15,167 --> 00:01:17,226
and stand up and start doing something!

28
00:01:17,274 --> 00:01:20,359
With rubber bullets, fire bombs,

29
00:01:20,384 --> 00:01:24,924
a wall, a human chain of young Egyptians

30
00:01:24,988 --> 00:01:29,090
decided to hold hands
to protect a museum.

31
00:01:29,115 --> 00:01:32,510
It's an opportunity to contribute
to their communities

32
00:01:32,535 --> 00:01:34,611
and change the world
in their own way.
