<ul><li>As an event, TEDxRamallah is happening in a city on land that cannot be reached by a large part of its own population due to occupation. It is also removed from access to the larger majority of people from neighboring countries.</li>
<li>As an initiative, TEDxRamallah takes on the responsibility to go beyond the event itself to fulfill the promise of what <a href="http://www.ted.com/" target="_blank">TED</a> stands for: "We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world."</li>
</ul>TEDxRamallah aims to showcase inspiring stories of Palestine. It also aims to educate and inspire by providing a space for people to share their ideas in any field, whether science, education, literature, technology, design, etc. to contribute to the positive perception of Palestine.<br>
<br>TEDxRamallah is a one day event that will take place in three venues in three cities: Convention Palace in Bethlehem, Sunflower Theatre in Beirut, and in a venue in Amman. The TEDxRamallah program will have a majority of speakers speaking live from the Convention Palace, while those speakers who cannot access Palestine will speak from the partner cities and will be streamed into Bethlehem. It is also through the energy nurtured around TEDxRamallah that we have been able to pool in massive involvement to highlight inspiring and yet untold stories of Palestine, all gathered and meticulously brought to life by the TEDxRamallah team and network. Those stories are found on this site under Palestine Stories. All content is the product of the TEDxRamallah team and network's efforts, by that moving TEDxRamallah from a platform to a platform and content generator...<br>
