A North Korean tale of Friendship | Alessandro Ford | TEDxUHasselt
Alessandro's story will reveal much more to the world about the mysterious
"hermit kingdom" that is North Korea. Relive the experiences and stories of
the first western student in North Korea.*
Born in Brussels, Belgium, as the son of an English politician and Italian
interpreter, Alessandro Ford travelled to North Korea in 2014 for a
one-of-a-kind study abroad at the Kim Il-Sung University in Pyongyang. An
accomplishment which caught attention all around the globe, being featured
in The Guardian, Deutsche Welle, NK news, among many others.
During his extraordinary stay, he learnt the Korean martial art of
Taekwondo from a grandmaster, studied the language in the country’s most
prestigious university, and also studied, worked, and lived side-by-side
with the students and future leaders of North Korea.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but
independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
