TED Talk Tuesday #228: What I learned about freedom after escaping North Korea

TED continues to spread ideas and help us all be better critical thinkers. Watching, listening and talking about TED Talks is a popular pastime for many in the CN&CO community. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh, learn or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations and business opportunities. Each week we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. It’s also a way that the CN&CO team play their part in spreading ideas and helping to make the world a better place.

This talk is chosen by Blake Dyason.

Yeonmi Park, human rights activist escaped North Korea and is speaking out about what is really happening in North Korea and the importance for us to fight for freedom. 

Make sure you are sitting down, this Ted Talk will shock you. 

Nothing is forever in this world and that’s why we have every reason to be hopeful. – Yeonmi Park
