In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Ahmed Said

Student

Ahmed Said is 16 years old and in Year 12 at Brookhouse School. “I chose to participate in TedX because it is a forum where through my musical ability I can express my views and also entertain the audience” Ahmed will be singing a medley that consists of “The Impossible Dream” by Luther Vandross and “Every Age” by Jacob Banks which are aligned to this year’s TedX theme of “changing currents”. “The message of progress and the importance of moving forward with personal ambitions that could change the world for the better are vividly illustrated in both songs. Even when feeling deprived of the will to carry on, the songs inspire you to excel”

Kimberly Munda

Student

The song I am singing is called ‘Read all about it’ by Emeli Sande. I chose this song because in relation to the theme of this year’s TEDx event, changing currents, it talks about using your voice to stand up and speak out on the societal ills that plague the world today. We can change currents by using our voices.
