The+Future

=GLOBAL CITIZENS=

[|According to the TED website (read more)], TEDTalks began as a simple attempt to share what happens at TED with the world. Under the moniker "ideas worth spreading," talks were released online. They rapidly attracted a global audience in the millions. Indeed, the reaction was so enthusiastic that the entire TED website has been re-engineered around TEDTalks, with the goal of giving everyone on-demand access to the world's most inspiring voices.

Today, TED is therefore best thought of as a global community. It's a community welcoming people from every discipline and culture who have just two things in common: they seek a deeper understanding of the world, and they hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all.

**THE ACADEMY TED PROJECT**
The purpose of this project is to present to each other the stories of imaginative and intelligent people, who are currently making a positive and profound difference all over the globe. We hope that these presentations will provide you with ideas about how you can use your own imagination and intelligence in ways that you've never dreamed. In many ways, the people at TED remind us a lot of you. Our hope is that their projects will inspire you to make a positive difference in the world.
