TEDxYouth@NIS | Angela Chen | Inspiring empathy through reading | Angela C | TEDxYouth@NIS

Angela has been a student at Nanjing International School for almost thirteen years. Self-diagnosed with a serious case of obsessive reading disorder, books have become a home to her as much as Nanjing. At TEDxYouth@NIS, Angela will be sharing stories and results from her recent project exploring the use of fiction to teach empathy to local Chinese school children and her realization that empathy is not taught, but inspired. In her talk, she will examine how children’s books can be used to gently deliver the spark of empathy that will one day grow into a wildfire.
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).
TEDxYouth@NIS is happening on March 3rd, 2018 at Nanjing International School. Our goal is to provide a platform where the people of Nanjing can share their ideas worth spreading in either English or Mandarin.
为了传播有价值的理念，TED创建了一个名为TEDx的项目。
TEDx是一个在地的，自由组织的活动，让人们共同分享TED式的体
验。我们的活动被称为TEDxYouth @ NIS，其中x = 独立的TED
项目。在我们的TEDxYouth @ NIS活动中，TEDTalks视频和现
场演讲者将会结合起来，在小组团里引入深入讨论及加强人与人的联
系。 TED会为TEDx提供总体指导，并且TEDx是我们独 立举办的
组织活动。
TEDxYouth@NIS 将于2018年3月3日在南京国际学校举行。我们的目标是为大众提供一个不受语言限制并分享有价值理念的平台。
