2
00:00:02,218 --> 00:00:03,316

in 126 countries and 47 languages

00:00:03,316 --> 00:00:04,332
13,000 TEDxTalks

4
00:00:04,332 --> 00:00:05,232
one conversation.

5
00:00:05,232 --> 00:00:06,624
Anwar Dafa-Alla: Typical TEDxsters

6
00:00:06,624 --> 00:00:08,506
they are dreaming about big stuff.

7
00:00:08,506 --> 00:00:12,607
How they can do something
bigger than themselves.

8
00:00:12,607 --> 00:00:14,872
And they are dreamers.

9
00:00:14,872 --> 00:00:17,847
Jim Stoltze: And if you find somebody
who shares your dream,

10
00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:19,734
step up to him or her,

11
00:00:19,734 --> 00:00:21,847
and ask, "How can I help?"

12
00:00:21,852 --> 00:00:24,153
"How can I bring your idea further?"

13
00:00:24,153 --> 00:00:25,948
Y. AlAbdeli: I told him, "I have a dream."

14
00:00:25,958 --> 00:00:29,168
"I want to bring this experience
to Iraq, to Baghdad."

15
00:00:29,982 --> 00:00:34,555
TEDx is what brought me back
to my home country.

16
00:00:34,555 --> 00:00:37,621
And the reason I waited so many years,

17
00:00:37,621 --> 00:00:39,851
I didn't want to go empty-handed.

18
00:00:39,855 --> 00:00:44,230
I found something that could
make an impact in my country.

19
00:00:44,230 --> 00:00:46,066
And in this case, it was TED.

20
00:00:46,066 --> 00:00:48,711
I started watching videos on TED.com.

21
00:00:48,711 --> 00:00:51,049
I was really inspired,
didn't sleep the whole night.

22
00:00:51,049 --> 00:00:54,098
The next day, okay,
if this thing inspires me,

23
00:00:54,098 --> 00:00:56,485
then, why not? I'm going to share this

24
00:00:56,485 --> 00:00:57,958
to my community in Ethiopia.

25
00:00:57,958 --> 00:00:59,539
Part of my community in Serbia.

26
00:00:59,539 --> 00:01:00,405
This is my community.


27
00:01:00,405 --> 00:01:01,230
My community.

28
00:01:01,230 --> 00:01:05,126
Communities that are tucked away
in villages across the world.

29
00:01:05,126 --> 00:01:08,709
To tell the world that we have
great thinkers and great doers.

30
00:01:08,709 --> 00:01:11,727
The sum of the local is the global.

31
00:01:11,727 --> 00:01:17,431
Turn off the TV, log off from the Internet
and stand up and start doing something!

32
00:01:17,435 --> 00:01:20,291
With rubber bullets, fire bombs,

33
00:01:20,291 --> 00:01:24,911
a wall of human chain of young Egyptians

34
00:01:24,911 --> 00:01:29,084
decided to hold hands to protect a museum.

35
00:01:29,084 --> 00:01:32,458
It's an opportunity to contribute
to their communities

36
00:01:32,458 --> 00:01:34,611
and change the world in their own way.
