Photo spotlight: Images from TEDxTaybeh, a TEDx event in Al-Taybeh, Israel.
Al-Taybeh is one of the cities in Israel’s Little Triangle, defined as “a concentration of Israeli Arab towns and villages … located in the eastern Sharon plain among the Samarian foothills.”
The team at TEDxTaybeh expressed excitement at being of one the first events in the Triangle, saying.
In essence, TEDxTaybeh aims at empowering the peripheral communities in the Arab towns and villages [in the Triangle.] It aspires at creating a space for them to engage and participate in forging new ways of thinking. Above all, TEDxTaybeh is an opportunity to inspire the local community from within.
Above, snapshots from the event, including their very interesting take on TED Fellow Candy Chang’s “Before I die…” project.
