Posted via Vijana FM on April 30, 2010 TED is coming to Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania this May 22nd, 2010. Please information below quoted from the TEDxDar website : About the TEDx Dar Concept In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDx Dar "Pamoja Tunaweza!

It has been a couple of months now since Vijana FM has been working with various young individuals around the world in an effort to stimulate constructive discussion amongst entrepreneurial youth. I plan on being back in Dar-es-Salaam this coming August 2010 to survey the scope of similar social media projects that engage in educative platforms.

Host to this conference was the Nation Media Group , an established and experienced media corporation based in Nairobi, Kenya with subsidiares and outlet across the East African region. The conference served to highlight past and present experiences of media in East Africa, and to also anticipate future challenges and goals. As noted in the conference follow-up report , mediums are changing fast; what used to be published only in print yesterday is now being covered on TV channels, radios and blogs. Content is becoming dynamic, ever-changing, and easily transferable. At the same time, the political economy in East Africa is changing . Our governments are talking to eachother about building a basic economic framework by which Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania can trade freely.
