La première playlist de TEDx en français: 5 talks in French from around the world
With over 6,000 events (in over 100 countries and over 1,000 cities) having taken place since the TEDx program’s start in 2009, the TEDx community is truly global. And with a community like this, we at the TEDx blog have decided to try something new — language playlists!
Do you speak French? Want to speak French? Curious about the language? Then you might enjoy this — our very first playlist of TEDx Talks in French. Below, 5 talks as diverse and interesting as the French language itself — covering everything from tales of the very deep sea to the power of social media.
Bienvenue sur la première playlist de TEDx en français! Vous avez déjà vu beaucoup de conférences en anglais ; maintenant, vous avez l’opportunité de les regarder en français.

A TEDxYouthDay reporter goes behind the scenes at TEDxYouth@Montreal
Sixth grader and TEDxYouthDay reporter Natasha Yang was a superstar at TEDxYouth@Montreal — going behind the scenes to get the backstory on six of the event’s illustrious speakers.
Below, Natasha’s findings — including a report in French! — accompanied by photos from Amalia Liogas.
David Ragsdale by Amalia Liogas
David Ragsdale is a neuroscientist. At the TEDxYouth@Montreal conference, he talked about the brain and how it works. As a student, he was interested in psychology and the course he found the most interesting was the psychology course about the brain.
He is currently a professor at McGill and he does research about the brain. One of the most interesting pieces of information he learned was about how drugs can give people epilepsy. When you have epilepsy, the channels in someone’s brain are not normal. They normally look like doughnuts but when somebody has epilepsy, the holes of the channels are plugged.
When one of the organizers at TEDxYouth@Montreal asked David to speak, he was really flattered and excited to give the talk. He really enjoys giving talks.
Nadia Sraieb-Koepp by Amalia Liogas
Nadia Sraieb-Koepp est une dame qui vient de Tunisie. Elle a parlé de son pays et comment les gens ont allé contre le gouvernement. Elle a vécu cette expérience affreuse.
Quand les organisateurs de TED ont demandé à Nadia de parler, ça à lui a fait beaucoup de plaisir. La première fois qu’elle a parlé de Tunisie était à une conférence le janvier 2011.
