TED meets with New Channel International Education Group in New York City.

Founded in 2004 by renowned language learning educator Hu Min, New Channel International Education Group aims to open a “new channel” in education, offering innovative approaches to learning that complement traditional school systems. With a presence in over 70 cities across China and international hubs including Hong Kong, New York and Tokyo, New Channel fosters global youth development through language education, study abroad support, art and music programs, cultural initiatives and academic research.

As TED’s exclusive strategic partner in China, New Channel is committed to nurturing global competence, cross-cultural understanding and lifelong learning. Its programs include international language training, academic preparation and cultural projects like the Stories of China Retold in English Challenge, engaging thousands of students worldwide each year.

By combining high-quality educational resources with opportunities for cultural exchange, New Channel empowers learners to explore new ideas, broaden their horizons and engage meaningfully with the world — values that align closely with TED’s mission of spreading ideas and inspiring learning globally.
