In 3 years over 3200 events[br]in 126 countries and 47 languages

0:00:03.602,0:00:05.309
13,000 TEDxTalks[br]one conversation.

Anwar Dafa-Alla: Typical TEDxsters[br]are dreaming about big stuff.

0:00:08.841,0:00:12.634
How they can do something[br]bigger than themselves.

0:00:12.777,0:00:14.887
And they are dreamers.

0:00:14.919,0:00:17.847
Jim Stoltze: And if you find somebody[br]who shares your dream,

0:00:17.958,0:00:19.565
step up to him or her,

0:00:19.696,0:00:21.725
and ask, "How can I help?"

0:00:21.852,0:00:24.169
"How can I bring your idea further?"

0:00:24.261,0:00:26.433
Yahay AlAbdeli: I told him,[br]"I have a dream."

"I want to bring this experience[br]to Iraq, to Baghdad."

0:00:29.603,0:00:34.412
TEDx is what brought me back[br]to my home country.

0:00:34.460,0:00:37.545
And the reason I waited so many years,

0:00:37.570,0:00:39.728
I didn't want to go empty-handed.

0:00:39.855,0:00:44.030
I found something that could[br]make an impact in my country.

0:00:44.220,0:00:45.896
And in this case, it was TED.

0:00:46.298,0:00:48.726
I started watching videos on TED.com.

0:00:48.835,0:00:51.301
I was really inspired,[br]didn't sleep the whole night.

0:00:51.326,0:00:53.823
The next day, OK,[br]if this thing inspires me,

0:00:54.443,0:00:57.846
Then, why not? I'm going to share this[br]in my community in Ethiopia.

0:00:57.871,0:00:59.370
Part of my community in Serbia.

0:00:59.395,0:01:01.212
- This is my community.[br]- My community.

0:01:01.237,0:01:05.163
Communities that are tucked away[br]in villages across the world.

0:01:05.188,0:01:08.663
To tell the world that we have[br]great thinkers and doers.

0:01:08.688,0:01:11.749
The sum of the local is the global.

0:01:11.774,0:01:15.135
Turn off the TV,[br]log off from the Internet

0:01:15.167,0:01:17.226
and stand up and start doing something!

0:01:17.274,0:01:20.359
With rubber bullets, fire bombs,

0:01:20.384,0:01:24.924
a wall, a human chain of young Egyptians

0:01:24.988,0:01:29.090
decided to hold hands[br]to protect a museum.

0:01:29.115,0:01:32.510
It's an opportunity to contribute[br]to their communities

0:01:32.535,0:01:34.611
and change the world[br]in their own way.
