No Borders Talk makes it easier for people to share their stories, experiences, and knowledge online and offline. No Borders Talk provides a platform to share your discoveries and innovations with the world. We believe passionately in the power of our brighter mind to change attitudes, lives, and knowledge.
LIKE: TED BUT: Unlike TED, we encourage people to share their stories, experiences, and knowledge in small groups so that everyone can participate. Live webcasts are available online, and viewers can interact with speakers online. LINK: Through No Borders Talk, we connect people to share knowledge, stories, and experiences in different fields.
