Pink and the periphery: Neil Harris at TEDxJaffa 2013

Neil Harris studied acting and political theater at The Central School of Speech and Drama in London before moving to Israel at the age of 22 in 1979. In 1981 he was enlisted into the IDF and spent two years as a medic in the first Lebanese War. Today he works in the field of Experiential Education for Social Change, and facilitates programs on Jewish/Palestinian Dialogue, HIV and AIDS prevention, Gay and Lesbian Youth, and Democratic Dilemmas in Israeli Society.

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).
