Comfort Zone

Took placeNovember 5, 2021
LocationAlexandria, Egypt, Al Iskandarīyah, Egypt
FormatStandard
After an interruption during the pandemic, there were days after which life was not the same as it was before. Everything has changed.. something has changed in the world and things have changed inside us.. we quickly realized that life before the pandemic was just a comfortable ‘safe zone’ guaranteed in a way or another. No one would have imagined that we would miss those ordinary days, traditional ideas, routines, and what the drivers of life revolve around, we could not have imagined that the safe zone would be broken with such cruelty so that everything we knew about life would be turned upside down. Countless thoughts surrounded us when we confined ourselves to the house for weeks. It was the first time in which we were alone by ourselves in isolation from the noise of the outside world to hear even if for a little bit the clicks of these thoughts in our minds whose echoes resonate the pillars of conscience, we were taken out from our safe and comfortable areas into the unknown.. and each of us has his own mystery. Each of us has his own world in which his thoughts and beliefs surround him and he keeps defending and sticking to it till the end.. each of us has his limits and conditions.. but what if you had to go out to discover what is vague and new.. were you be able to face the situation? Or will you retreat to your comfort zone? Which is no longer safe.. and today we are announcing our theme of this year for the TEDx San Stefano conference “ the comfort zone” that we have left since the first day the pandemic appeared. TEDx San Stefano is now opening its doors for you as a speaker to talk about all these ideas so that your voice can reach all of us. Now you have the chance to help us share the ideas that deserve to be shared..Apply now.. TEDx San Stefano has always been a platform for all magnificent thing
