“The TEDxDar Conference is intended to continue a process of public engagement and exchange of ideas in relation to innovation, society, culture, arts – a wide range of interdisciplinary issues that pertain to Tanzania at a local and global level. The forum is based on the belief in active discourse and public engagement in reaction to institutional constraints on creative development. The aim is to gather a wider array of individuals with various perspectives and specializations to hold TED-like 20 minute talks that will form the basis of a larger conversation and collaborations.”
