L’art de rêver grand quand on se sent petit

Dans cette conférence, Akram explore comment l’éducation, l’engagement et la confiance peuvent aider les jeunes à dépasser le sentiment d’être limités par leur contexte et à se donner la permission d’aspirer à quelque chose de plus grand. Akram Tahar Chaouch studies Integrative Biology and Medical Anthropology at Harvard University. Driven by a desire to contribute positively to the world, he works at the intersection of science, education, and social action, a commitment that earned him the Lieutenant Governor’s Youth Medal.

He has led guided study and homework support sessions at his local library and founded the Backpack Project, which provides free school supplies to financially disadvantaged high school students.

At Harvard, he serves as Co-Director of a program for children with special needs in a Boston elementary school, where he designs activities that combine science, the arts, and music. He has also supported immigrant students through tutoring in reception and French-language integration classes.

Scientifically, Akram represented Canada at the MILSET International Science Fair in Mexico, presenting a project on the gut microbiome. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
