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).

"Eagle Red Beans"

Li-Chian Shen I am a promoter of life education, a storybook writer, and a global spokesperson for New Balance. I am optimistic and cheerful, and someone who is not afraid of the inconvenience caused by the amputation of my right leg. I call my prosthetic leg a "beautiful leg" and have won the Literature Award, the National Ten Outstanding Youth and the Presidential Education Award for her essays. To pay attention to people with disabilities and bridge the gap between the normal and disabled, I also extend social issues to the eagle red beans raised by my father, and show that I care about ecological conservation.

麗雯 陳

student

Apa kabar! (Indonesian greeting) I’m Chloe Chen. I was raised by my grandparents in a small coastal village in Changhua. From a closed-down elementary school, I made it to National Chengchi University. Because of my family background, I used to be an unconfident and timid person, without even the courage to raise my hand to run for class president. But I knew I wanted to be someone who challenges myself and lives life to the fullest, with the courage to embrace expectations and not fear failure... Step by step, I turned the ideal version of myself from my mind into reality and reached the place I had always dreamed of. I hope my story inspires you to fully accept yourself and have the courage to make decisions that reflect your authentic self. Terima kasih! (Thank you in Indonesian.)
