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.
• Jim Tamm unpacks why we become defensive and how overcoming it can lead to stronger, more meaningful collaboration.
• Clemantine Wamariya shares her personal story of war, displacement, and the search for identity beyond the trauma.
• Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie warns of the dangers of a single story, showing how narratives shape perceptions and realities.
Through these talks and discussions, we will explore how communities can rebuild after conflict, how narratives influence reconciliation, and how we can foster true collaboration for a peaceful future.
