TEDxCikin Gari

TEDxCikinGari is an independently organized TEDx event bringing bold, homegrown ideas to the stage in Kano, Nigeria. "Cikin Gari" means "in the city/heart of town" in Hausa, and that's exactly the spirit of this event: ideas built from within Kano's own community, not imported from outside it. Our first edition brings together voices working across journalism, technology, education, and grassroots development, people already doing the work, not just talking about it. TEDxCikinGari exists to prove that world-changing ideas don't require leaving the North to be heard.
