TED is looking for ideas worth spreading — that’s the mission! So… What does that mean? They are looking for ideas that are new, unique, and can offer an insight or a new way of thinking to a very large audience. Can you bring such ideas? Then you are what they need. See more information on how to apply below.
TED is hosting another idea search with a mission to hear big, bold ideas — this time specifically from Africa. Applications are open to anyone in or descended from the African continent.
TED is committed to a global mindset. TED seek to source ideas from everywhere and to make them widely and freely accessible. Powerful ideas, expressed and distributed with care, can bring different groups together and create a shared vision of a future worth pursuing. It is with that global mindset that we are focusing on different regions of the world for several idea search events.
Your “idea worth spreading”
A TED Talk usually has a topic and an idea.
A topic is the high level — the general direction you want to take the talk.
Topic example: We need to fix the opioid crisis
An idea is a specific angle that stems from the topic — a unique message, solution, or insight that only you can share.
Idea example: In the opioid crisis, here’s what it takes to save a life.
