Hello Everyone!
Please Forward widely!

*I am pleased to announce that Palestine at MIT will be hosting a live
streaming of *
*TEDxRamallah <http://www.tedxramallah.com/en/home/> on Saturday April 16,
2011!*
*
*
*When: Saturday April 16, 2011 3:00-8:00 PM*
*Where: MIT, Room 4-163 [http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=4]*
*RSVP Here: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=200151193358985&index=1*

****************************************************************************************************************
*Note that TEDxRamallah is no normal TEDx <http://www.ted.com/tedx>!*

   - 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.
   - As an initiative, TEDxRamallah takes on the responsibility to go beyond
   the event itself to fulfill the promise of what TED
<http://www.ted.com/>stands for: "We believe passionately in the power
of ideas to change
   attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world."

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.

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...

****************************************************************************************************************
*Please forward widely to all who may be interested!*
