The Experiment Digital Virtual Exchange Program

TED completely changed me as a person. Not only did I learn valuable information about different cultures, leadership, and many other life lessons, I also got to express my thoughts and ideas through the program, and other participants were supportive, so I gained a confidence that I didn’t know I could have. I also gained some new friends from different backgrounds who are all amazing people with different ideas that will change our communities for better. I’m very glad I was part of this program.

This summer I had one of the best moments in my life with TED ,I got to talk with people around the world who were as motivated I am. I learned many new things and I got to improve my leadership and communication skills.I learned how to plan and make a project real. This programme motivated me and inspired me to take the lead and make a change in my community. And I think what made this programme unique is the way they teach us new concepts without making it boring. So I would definitly recommend this programme to other youth.

This summer that I spent along with TED was one of the most productive holidays I ever had, I've learned a lot about leadership, civic engagement, communication skills. All the skills that I wouldn't normally be able to learn without this experiment, and this fact inspired me very much for my future activities in my communities, it made me strive for a change. I won't wait for this change, I will make it, this is what I had in mind after finishing this program. So yes I would definitely recommend this program for every young person out there, dreaming of a better future . Don't wait for it, be the change, and make your first step with TED just like I did.

The program was really helpful, there was a lot of interaction and opportunities to learn about how to view and respond to issues in your community, as well as how to be a good communicator, and how to plan a community initiative. I had a great time talking with students. The teachers and moderators were very helpful. All around there were great people and when we had differences they were peacefully resolved. I also got to learn about other cultures and customs from MENA (Middle East North Africa).

Participating in TED was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It was an incredible journey, I learned lots of interesting thing and I also improved my leadership and communication skills. One thing that I loved the most was our family dialogues, we talked about lots of interesting things. I wish that the program could last longer, I enjoyed every second of the program. If u want to meet new people and share your ideas with them TED is the best virtual program for you. Thank you TED for everything!

As an Alumni, the experiment digital is one of the best exchange programs ever, I got a lot from it
First of all, When i got started the program I faced some difficulties and it's normal everyone who practices a new thing he is going to face difficulties, but in TED I got a peer mentor and also a Facilitator, they are one of the best people I know in my life, when I got an issue in any activity or directly I was going to them
Secondly, in TED I had the chance to gain the most important skills which can help me in my life to be a successful leader such as :
Leadership, Critical Thinking, become an innovative designer, creative communicator, resourceful changemaker ......etc
finally, the best part is you are going to meet people from several countries and different backgrounds and this gonna help you to be creative in your perspective as well as your creativity in your projects and also you life

The Digital Experiment (TED). It was a really amazing experience as a place to present your thoughts and opinions to others while at the same time knowing what others are thinking and learning from them. You will really learn a lot. It is also a place to develop your skills, whether in communication or in leadership. For me it was really an experience that I learned a lot from. I developed my skills in communication and in leadership. I learned things I had never thought of. It was the first program I participated in, but it is great when you express your opinions in English and with other people around the world. The program is a place for everyone to meet to present their ideas together and collaborate to find solutions to their different problems, it was great when you get to know others and create new friendships to learn about what is happening in different countries, what are the most important problems they face and what are their goals. In fact, you will even get to know a lot about your country. So I really encourage everyone to join TED.

TED was an experience!, in it I realized more about peers living and having completely different experiences, that made me realize that I don't need to judge, not untill I experience what they experienced, but experiences are always not the same, this I learned from a module in the program, and one thing I also learned, is that when expecting relationships with people I need to seek them by myself and without a third mart help (staff for example), this at my current situation was very helpful !.
