TEDxCarthage is back for its latest edition entitled “The Differences We Make,” on April 27 at the Palais des Congrès. With 18 speakers from Tunisia and around the world, this event wants to showcase some of today’s most powerful ideas, and inspire young people to see their own power to make a difference.

As Tunisia celebrates some major political achievements in its political transition, including a handover to a technocratic government and the successful ratification of a democratic constitution, there are still significant challenges ahead. Economic growth remains stagnant, youth employment rates have not improved, and more and more people are moving away from civic activity, as many of the goals of the Tunisian Revolution have not yet been realized.

This upcoming edition, however, hopes to counter this growing apathy. Rather than focusing on the negatives of the current situation, TEDx wants to highlight how regular citizens can make an impact on a local, regional, or even national level.
