Major of Rotterdam Ahmed Aboutaleb was born in 1961in a small Moroccan village. His father moved to the Netherlands to work, followed by the family in 1976. At that time, Aboutaleb was fifteen. On TEDxRotterdam 2010, 34 years later, Ahmed Aboutaleb shares his views on how to escape from poverty with education. About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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.)
