The unrest in Syria is now a decade old. Thousands of people have lost their lives and tens of thousands have been displaced. Salma’s talk focuses on the lessons that the wider world can learn from the Syrian conflict, and she shares her thoughts on why people should remove the filter that is hiding the reality of every individual’s story.
Salma is a year 12 student at The Academy who is passionate about design and innovation aspiring to become an architect blending both modern, cultural and sustainable building styles. She also takes part as several student leadership roles such as lead senior prefect and head girl. Being raised in the Syrian crisis, she dreams of spreading awareness about Syria and its children while projecting the beauty of her country. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
