In an effort to humanize our exceptionally talenTED(x) speakers, our team put together a series of questions that touch on sometimes overlooked areas. The following question and answer (or Q & A) session is with the wonderful Christopher T. Mikkelsen from Refugees United.
TEDxKids: What kind of animal do you identify with and why?
Christopher: Ant! I’d like to think I can carry a bit of weight
TEDxKids: What is your favourite snack?
Christopher: Avocado
TEDxKids: What website(s) do you make a priority of checking?
Christopher: www.bbc.com, www.wired.com, www.cnn.com, www.27bslash6.com, www.theonion.com, www.politico.com
TEDxKids: If you could have a million of anything, what would it be and why?
Christopher: I’d ask for a million geetar strings, in tune with the coyote’s bark, and strum the world and have everyone sing, with the owls hooting at the dark.
TEDxKids: Name one initiative you fancy and wish you had come up with yourself.
Christopher: That would be…evolution
TEDxKids: What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about?
Christopher: Then the Jitterbug will be jealous.
Additional Q & A will be released at TEDxKids @TheHill this fall. Stay tuned…
