🧠Elizabeth Cox
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣On the edge of the vast Sahara desert, citizens snuck out of the city of Timbuktu and took to the wilderness.

Why were they hiding these priceless manuscripts? Elizabeth Cox digs into the literary tradition of Timbuktu. [Directed by AIM Creative Studios, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott, music by André Aires].

In a deeply moving talk, education leader Zoya Lytvyn shares her first-hand experience evacuating Kyiv and takes us inside the ongoing effort to continue educating children amid war and destruction. "As long as our children keep learning and our teachers keep teaching -- even while they are starving in shelters under bombardment, even in refugee camps -- we are undefeated," she says.
