I am Kseniya. I come from Belarus and doing my Master's in Strategy and International Business in Aston University. Since young ages have been involved in many international youth projects and can not stop till now:) I lived for a year in India and worked there in IT company. Being back home have worked on an important for my country project "Heta Belarus Dzietka"which aims to develop Belarusian language and the identity. With our team we have run a successful international crowdfunding campaign and raised £7500 in order to publish two new creative books in Belarusian and English languages. I have done a lot of volunteering projects and have been as a volunteer to the Olympic Games in Sochi, theatre festivals and business conferences. I have also done my internship in the United Nations Office in Belarus. In 2016 I won Chevening Scholarship and this is how I appeared in the UK. Now I am looking forward for my life journey to continued with new twists and challenges, hopefully, only positive ones:)

I often get impressed with how much we don't know and what impressive things people do all over the world. For me TEDx is the way to discover unknown, get surprised and inspired, rethink the 'usual' or 'normal' way of doing things. This year I have applied for the license to organise TEDxAstonUniveristy and this is where we are now!
