TEDxTWS

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading”. 
 
The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences through a global forum at the local level.
 
The Westminster School, Dubai has made its presence felt and has completed 3 landmarks since its inception on its Global journey of exploring inspirational and innovative ideas on the TED platform to challenge the conventional thinking!
 
We took our first step by Livestreaming the TED Talks on 18 February, 2016. We chose to go for the TEDx Live to showcase and ignite 'Ideas truly Worth Spreading'. Our Journey  went further last year with our very own, 12 talented young speakers who enthralled the audience. 
 
We then organized another TEDx launching 3 speakers for TEDx Women, this time we are taking a bolder step by giving this platform to the students of younger age, an age where curiosity and quest for knowledge is at its peak, with the theme ‘Age of Amazement’ we will make a bold attempt to look at amazing things around us with unique concepts like spoken poetry.
 
 
The aim of The Westminster School, Dubai is to bring the best of ideas to our community (TWS-students, teachers, parents and the larger community)and also to engage, stimulate and create a thoughtful new generations way ahead of their times. We believe in promoting diversity and building communities and this in turn creates awareness in social, cultural, economic and environmental in shaping a sustainable future for ourselves and those around us.
 
Innovation requires bold thinking, fresh ideas, to make a real contribution by relentlessly exploring the unknown will open up new possibilities. Hence, we want to invite all the people who are thoughtful and want to contribute for a better tomorrow, in any small/ big way they can.

TED

TED is a nonprofit global media organization dedicated to spreading ideas, usually as short, inspirational talks. It started out in 1984 in the form of a conference that brought together the elements of Technology, Entertainment, and Design, and now is inclusive of almost all topics. The yearly TED Conference is held in Vancouver, British Columbia each spring. Some of the remarkable initiatives took by this organization includes Ted.com which is a clearinghouse of knowledge coming straight from the most innovative thinkers, Open Translation Project, that puts forward subtitles, interactive transcripts and translations from volunteers around the globe, Ted-Ed, the educational platform and the Ted-Prize where remarkable ideas from exceptional leaders are made into reality.  TEDX supports local and self-organized TED-style events and the TED Fellows Program gives transformational encouragement to a worldwide community of innovators to help create a positive impact.
