How these TED Talks changed the world

"At the end of the day, love and compassion will win." 3/31/18 TED Prize winners start with a bold wish for the world. These are the stories of the people they've inspired. Here's an exclusive first look at the newest story from our series made in collaboration with TED.  The Former Nun Creating a Global Charter for Compassion Compassion is more than just a feeling, it's a daily practice, a muscle to be continually exercised. No one understands that more than Karen Armstrong. As a religious scholar and former nun, she's spent her life studying the intricacies of religion. Now, she's on a mission to create communities built on compassion with a global Charter for Compassion. To this day, more than 2 million people and 300 cities have taken the pledge. How Jamie Oliver's TED Talk Sparked a Food Revolution in the Classroom When students at London's Charlton Manor Primary School learn about history, they use chocolate. In math class, they weigh and measure fruit smoothies. Taking inspiration from world-renowned chef and TED prize winner Jamie Oliver, head teacher Timothy Baker began incorporating food into all subjects at the primary school. By making food an integral part of the curriculum, Baker hopes to teach children the importance of valuing food and cultivating healthy eating habits.    She's 90 and a Space Archaeologist, All Thanks to a TED Talk Space archaeologist Sarah Parcak is a modern-day Indiana Jones. She analyzes satellite imagery in order to find ancient sites hidden from view. With GlobalXplorer, an online platform using the power of the crowd to find, protect and monitor archaeological sites, Parcak is empowering others to be their own "armchair archaeologists"—people like Doris Jones. At 90 years old, Jones is one of the leading contributors to GlobalXplorer, having mapped out thousands of sites all from the comfort of her home.  Copyright © 2018 Great Big Story, LLC, All rights reserved.You are receiving this message because you subscribed to the Great Big Story newsletter.
