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).

Fardeen Peersha Jawahir

Law

Growing up in Sarawak, I discovered that I often enjoyed standing in front of an audience to either deliver a speech, resulting in me often being called to give one. The idea of giving a speech excites me, whether it be for policy speaking, a debate tournament or even in a Moden United Nations Council. Apart from that, I find immense joy in cooking, and am always looking out for new and interesting recipes to try. While I've never been a capable baker, pastries, cookies and bread are my go to comfort food.

Syahaneem Sajali had always find meeting people and getting to know them riveting. She finds it intriguing that people's traits and characteristics are unique to each their own, and discovering how they view the world and the way they think can be amusing and absorbing, even if they are coming from backgrounds not similar to hers, often which she is unfamiliar with. She enjoys building bonds with people she meets along the way, captivated by the people who are willing to share their stories, as well as their perspectives.
