TEDxSowetoChange 2012 Programme
The theme for TEDxSowetoChange 2012 is “The Big Picture”:
In this TEDxSowetoChange, we’ll take a step back and apply new perspectives to big picture issues. Why, as the developing world, should we continue to look to the West for our development needs? How can we work with others across borders and political boundaries to bring about positive change at home and elsewhere? And what is the exchange?
