THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA

THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA | 26 March 2022

The inaugural TEDx conference at the Geneva Graduate Institute.
Where do we go from these “unprecedented times”?

We have all heard the words "unprecedented times" relating to the last two years: unprecedented health situation, unprecedented protests on issues of diversity, unprecedented shifts in geopolitical security environments, unprecedented outage of main social media platforms… All we seem to be living in is rather unprecedented and extremely distressing. 

We would like to shed a positive and empowering light on the ways in which we can confront these times. Our team believes the theme, "The Dawn of a New Era", encapsulates the spirit of our time, from the personal to the societal, together with reflecting the spirit of the Institute in our current historical moment. 

We have been closely following the newly founded Initiatives launched by IHEID and we see this momentum as opening up an era of rebirth and positive growth for our university, and we would like to be a key component of this institutional paradigm shift. As a newly founded initiative ourselves (set up in Spring 2021), we embody as well the idea of representing a new beginning, a new chapter, a new era in life at the Institute.
