School of the Nations congratulates Emmanuel Pereira on his selection to attend the TED Summer School in London following his outstanding performance in the Learning to Be Heard – Global Public Speaking Challenge, an international competition hosted by Immerse Education in partnership with TED Summer School.

Emmanuel was selected from a field of more than 2,000 applicants representing over 130 countries after responding to the challenge prompt, “If you had one minute to speak to the world, what would you speak about and why?” His submission earned him a place in the programme and a 20% scholarship in recognition of his achievement.

The TED Summer School will be held in London UK from 26 July to 8 August 2026, bringing together promising young people from around the world for an intensive programme focused on public speaking, leadership, communication, and the exchange of ideas.
