The TED story
My TED story began in 2010 when I first got interested to the TED videos on the internet. I got inspired with many talks. By the time, Tunisia held the first TEDx event "TEDxCarthage" in the country in the capital Tunis which was a success and I thought that it could be a great idea if I participate in spreading the TED culture in my city too and organize our own TEDx event. I had been working for a while to find interested people to help me on that and get the TED spirit. In 2013, we end up by organizing "TEDxThyna" which had as theme "Power of Regions" in reference to the city and its influences on the area. Speakers varied between architects, urbanists, farmers, businessmen and entrepreneur. That was a great experience and it created a good synergy between people to think about deeper about real problems and figure out some innovative solutions.
