Theme: Dream, Dare, Do #DDD

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).

Joshua BALATA

EDHEC student

As an international student in France, I’ve had a hard time understanding subtle nuances in French. I’ve spent my stay here perfecting my French and have tried several techniques before I’ve finally succeeded in acquiring proficiency in the language. I’ve noticed how speaking someone’s language as a non-native speaker, approaches me to the person on an emotional level. This emotional connection accounts for long lasting relationships and meaningful friends. I like making friends from different cultural backgrounds and this fuels my urge to perfect my French. Before my international journey, I would write letters to pen pals to hear about their lives and their perspective on mundane aspects. Languages are the ultimate icebreakers! If you do it right, it will help you access relationships that matter." Joshua's personal quote : "If you can't change it, quit complaining. Channel your creativity into a skill set that you can change."
