In October 2020, for the launch of TED’s climate initiative, Countdown , HH Pope Francis gave a TED Talk (his second) on the moral imperative to act on climate change. It was inspired by his encyclical letter (book) Laudato si’ , “On caring for our common home.” An excerpt from that TED Talk is now featured in a new documentary film centered on the Pope’s message. First published in 2015, Laudato si’ became a rare papal encyclical that permeated mainstream discourse. It hit a nerve and became a global sensation, widely commented on (and criticized). It also gave rise to the Laudato si’ Movement , which has now brought together a stellar production team (whose previous works include the global hit My Octopus Teacher ) to make the new film called The Letter – A message for our Earth . (See the trailer ). It is supported by YouTube Originals, where it will premiere on October 4 at 9am US Pacific time and 6pm Central European time. We have asked Tomás Insua , the executive directo

Journalist Adeola Fayehun and TED curator Cloe Shasha Brooks host the TED Idea Search: Africa 2022 to discover new voices. From April through June 2022, the TED Idea Search: Africa 2022 applications were open to anyone living in or descended from the African continent. Applicants were required to create a two-minute video as a part of their submission.  After sorting through hundreds of applications, the TED team selected ten finalists to participate in two virtual TED Membership events, where the finalists talked more about their ideas and participated in a Q&A with TED Members. After each Q&A, TED Members had the opportunity to vote on each finalist’s idea and speaking style. Thanks to those ratings, the TED team selected three winners who will be invited to give a TED Talk, either virtually or in person. Those winners are:   Chinyanta Kabaso , dancer, based in Glasgow, Scotland Kabaso studies the roots and meanings of traditional African dance styles and performs dan

Gender equality is going backwards, with women’s lives getting worse: from poverty to choices around sexual and reproductive health.

My experience has been this: 1. Have a revolving volunteer-to-programme pipeline; do not be afraid to pay volunteers while you're teaching them the ropes, even when you think they're contributing nothing. They'll make your best staffers tomorrow. Go for passion, not ready-made skills. Skills can be taught. Passion can't. If you find both in one package, the better. 2. Do not be scared of teaching your new hands the secrets you took a decade or more to learn. Show them the hacks. Don't be like some parents who want their children to learn life skills the hard way 😜. 3. Expose them, locally and internationally. Don't be scared that if they go out, other organizations will poach them. As they grow, break them into your circle. As ED, take a back seat and give them leadership and public facing roles. That's how their competency and confidence grows. Your organization will be the better for it! 4. Be a leader, not a boss. I can't loud this enough. 5. I&

In response to the overwhelming popularity of Adam Grant’s interviews on the WorkLife podcast , TED Audio Collective has launched a new podcast, ReThinking with Adam Grant, to explore the science of what makes us tick. TED speaker and organizational psychologist Adam Grant will interview today’s most fascinating creators, achievers and leaders to figure out how they think and what they want us to rethink.  “My favorite part of being a psychologist is discovering something new about how we think — especially when I find out that something I thought I knew wasn’t true,” said host Adam Grant. “Having a weekly show is the perfect excuse to have more surprising, more eye-opening conversations. I can’t believe I get to talk with the most interesting minds on earth and call it part of my job.” Adam will bring curiosity and science to conversations and debates with people like entrepreneur and investor Mark Cuban, death-defying rock climber Alex Honnold, novelist Celeste Ng, Oscar wi

In June 2022, TED’s climate initiative, Countdown, convened in New York for its first Dilemma Series event, titled “Is there a role for carbon credits in accelerating a fair, net-zero world?” Carbon credits are a very controversial topic, one that elicits decidedly contrasting reactions. One hundred people gathered over 36 hours of deep conversations and hands-on workshops to confront those positions and bridge divides in a constructive manner. The Countdown team is now preparing to stage its second Dilemma Series gathering, in London this October, around the even thornier question: “What is the role of fossil fuels between now and 2050?” We asked Lindsay Levin and Bruno Giussani, two of the cofounders of TED Countdown, why they and their team decided to create this new discussion format. What is the Dilemma Series? It’s a string of carefully curated events designed to look at some of the “knots” in the climate change space, where diverging positions have solidified into an inabi
