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).

Nora Al Noman

HE Noura Al Noman has always loved languages, and specialized in English literature - she never imagined that she would become an author. She wrote for children by chance. During her search for Arabic novels for her daughters, she discovered a lack of materials, especially science fiction. So, she began writing her first novel, "Ajwan", which won the Etisalat Award for the Best Book for Young People in 2013.
