A música é a forma universal da magia | Oleksandra Kharytonova | TEDxLAHS

Oleksandra Kharytonova, estudante do terceiro ano do Los Altos High School, mudou-se da Ucrânia para os Estados Unidos após o início da guerra. Ela conta como tocar flauta a ajudou a criar conexões em lugares desconhecidos, desde apresentações em abrigos para refugiados até a participação em bandas marciais nos EUA. Também fundou o primeiro clube eslavo da escola. Segundo a palestra, os concertos beneficentes em que atuou arrecadaram mais de 330 mil dólares para ajuda humanitária à Ucrânia. A fala foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente.

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. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
