People in developing countries need easy access to useful information in order to improve their lives. Widened public awareness allows communities to devise and execute initiatives that lead to sustainable development results.
Knowledge and information allow people to identify not only opportunities but also obstacles that hinder their economic, social, and human development. Effective communication can give communities the tools they need to use water more efficiently, protect children from disease, or grow better crops. Informed citizens are empowered to find solutions to their problems.
TEDxWashingtonCircle will host three speakers, from different disciplines, who will come together and talk about their own experiences with development initiatives and share effective communication strategies.
