Theme: Echoes of War, Whispers of Peace

Theme Explanation:
The impact of war lingers long after the last battle. Its echoes shape identities, communities, and histories. Yet, amid the devastation, there are whispers of peace—stories of resilience, healing, and rebuilding. This salon explores how conflict transforms lives, how collaboration fosters reconciliation, and how embracing diverse narratives can pave the way for a more just and peaceful future.

Event Description:
TEDxSalon "Echoes of War, Whispers of Peace" will take participants on a journey through the power of storytelling, collaboration, and post-conflict healing.
