Main Aim of the event: Our Level 2 event is coming with a new vision that aims to shed light on the intellectual gap between two generations “the adult generation and the young generation” in order to create an intellectual exchange between the experiences, way of thinking, and plans of both generations. This Idea has aroused the needs within our community, as the event also aims to show the characteristics of each generation and their vision in the 6 different discussed topics - mentioned below- ensuring to show that each generation has its own distinctive and different fingerprint. In a country suffering from a conflict that has taken its toll on Yemenis and especially heavily affecting the economic situation, such an event brings hope, change, and inspiration to Yemenis. It brings inspiring stories of people transforming and changing their reality for the better. So, these stories will bring about lessons learned and how people can start over, get inspired, learn and change for the better Slogan Scope: Although both generations are different, they complete each other and no generation can exist alone. " Heads * Tails " reflecting two sides of a coin which are different but still each side is completed by the other, Main Topics discussed in the event: - Entrepreneurship " From Scratch" - Education " KeyStone " - Tourism "From The land of BALQIS" - Inventions and handicrafts "Made in Yemen" - Health "Health is Wealth" - Art " Art between two generations" Targeted Audience: Many inspirational talks of TED 2021, that will be selected carefully, will be presented. Also, many relative talks will be presented on the stage by speakers with creative and new ideas. We are expecting quite good attendance targeting 800 people interested in the 6 focus areas (entrepreneurship, inventions, and handicrafts, health, education, tourism, and also art). So the attendance is divided into two categories: 400 youth and 400 adults to achieve the intended intellectual exchange and higher benefit from the areas and topics that will be presented, as well as making an intellectual shift in the way of thinking of both generations.
