La musique est la forme universelle de la magie | Oleksandra Kharytonova | TEDxLAHS

Oleksandra Kharytonova, étudiante en deuxième année de lycée à Los Altos, a quitté l'Ukraine pour les États-Unis après le début de la guerre. Elle raconte comment la flûte l'a aidée à trouver des liens dans des lieux inconnus, des abris pour réfugiés aux fanfares américaines. Elle évoque aussi la création d'un club slave dans son nouveau lycée. Les concerts de bienfaisance auxquels elle a participé ont, selon l'intervention, permis de récolter plus de 330 000 dollars pour l'aide humanitaire ukrainienne.

• Concerts de flûte dans des abris pour réfugiés et concerts de bienfaisance
• Fanfares et création de liens dans un nouveau lycée
• Club slave et plateforme pour les élèves immigrés

She shares how playing the flute helped her find connection in unfamiliar places, from performing in refugee shelters to joining marching bands in the U.S. and creating community at her new school. Through her story, she shows how music became more than just something she loved; it became a way to belong. Oleksandra Kharytonova is a junior at Los Altos High School. Oleksandra moved to the United States from Ukraine after the start of the war. She has been playing the flute for over 12 years and grew up in a family of musicians, which shaped her connection to music from a very young age. After relocating across several countries, she used music to reconnect with others and rebuild a sense of normalcy, including performing in benefit concerts that raised over $330,000 for Ukrainian humanitarian aid. At her current school, she founded the first Slavic club to bring together students who shared similar backgrounds, and she recently started a platform to help immigrant students better understand the U.S. school system. She is interested in how music can connect people, especially in moments when everything else feels unfamiliar.
