Theme: Yikre* (*Rise or Takeoff in mooré language)

The first edition of TEDxKoulouba allowed us to "Get Out of the box". The various speakers have told us about how they got rid of the pitfalls that predestined them from every point of view, from failure or from any other trajectory. Getting out of the box is not an end in itself; on the contrary, it is a starting point for opening up to new horizons and exploring greater possibilities. We left the box, it's now time to takeoff...
Various speaker will share strong and innovative ideas which could have an impact of our Burkinabè context and at the same time interesting for audiences abroad
