Student Power

The TEDxZU file
I have been a part of many TEDx events since 2009. I co-curated the 1st TEDxDubai with Giorgio Ungania in 2009, an amazingly HUGE event right out of the blocks. Then I found my home in events that are youth and education centered. Education centered in that they are organized by schools. TEDxAbuDhabiU was my [...]
Physical Commuication

Just Amazing!

When you think about it, go back to 3000 BC the 1st forms of communication codified on clay tablets were visual. Then we have Egypt, visual. China and early writing! Visual.
