A Child's Idea Transforms a Village: Mona Al-Areeqi at TEDxTaiz 2014

Mona's message illustrates how simple ideas that emerge from the most unlikely of sources could, when inspired by hope, transform whole communities and result in positive change despite naysayers and obstacles. Mona believes that it's time for us to change the way we think and arm ourselves with ambition to make a real Renaissance era.


منى العريقي: فكرة طفل غيرت معالم قرية
تشير منى في حديثها إلى أن الأفكار البريئة تطل من نافذة الأمل لتواجه سلبية الحياة، فيخنقها الخوف من سخرية الآخرين. آن لنا أن نغير من طريقة تفكيرنا و نتسلح بإلايجابية و الطموح لنصنع عصر النهضة الحقيقية.


About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
