We’re proud and thrilled to announce that our Third Generation’s event theme is going to be: I N E F F A B L E
Since TEDxYouth@EBIS started, it has been contributing in a lot of aspects in the TEDx community in Egypt and since we were glad our chosen theme in 2017, Second Generation, influenced a lot of other teams that afterwards called their teams numbered “generations” too in the belief of the importance of what each team “generation” do beside the efforts and remarkable prints they leave and pass and teach it to the new ones!

Therefore, this year, we chose the intense, nameless, extraordinary, FUNtastic, forbidden, astonishing, breathtaking, limitless and extreme experience and marks to name us INEFFABLE!

We unswervingly have a cemented belief and mission to erase the idea of perfection and embrace the thought of how each and every person is perfectly imperfect by being DIFFERENT and that everyone has his own unique definition of INEFFABLE.

We may all be some nameless stories in someones life, but most crucially, we are indescribable because we are US, INEFFABLE. -TEDxYouth@EBIS Third Generation Team.

All her success in different areas in her life couldn’t have been done without immense effort and perseverance that is based on her sold mentality and everlasting passion and fundamentals.
