WHY UNSEEN VOICES?

Our world is full of stories that often remain untold—those that reveal the challenges and victories of people maneuvering systems that may not always work in their favor. These are the stories of those who have remained unseen, unheard, and unrepresented, yet their stories hold the power to shape our understanding and inspire change. "Unseen Voices" seeks to amplify these stories—the voices that went unheard because the distance between the screams and the ears was too vast, and those that remained unseen because there was no one to represent them. At TEDxDDUC, we bring you individuals who share insights that go beyond their personal experiences, speaking for communities, and sparking meaningful conversations about resilience, advocacy, and collective humanity.

WHY .EXE?

The ".exe" file extension represents execution—making something functional and actionable. Similarly, TEDxDDUC acts as an extension of these unseen voices, transforming them into powerful movements. It provides a platform for changing narratives and transforming overlooked stories into transformative ones, encouraging change-makers to share their journeys and ideas with the world.
