Phoenicia University Hosts TEDxPhoeniciaU 2025 Under the Theme “Shifting the Narratives”

Phoenicia University hosted TEDxPhoeniciaU 2025 under the theme “Shifting the Narratives,” bringing together students, alumni, and members of the wider community for an educational event centered on knowledge-sharing, personal experiences, and diverse perspectives. The event provided a platform for exploring ideas that challenge conventional thinking, encourage reflection, and offer new ways of understanding personal and shared experiences.

The program featured four speakers, including two current students and two alumni, who shared insights through talks addressing personal growth, self-awareness, individuality, and the impact of meaningful interactions. The speakers and their talks were:

• Alia Helen, student speaker, who delivered a talk titled “The Mindset Diet (100% Scale-Free)”
• Mohammad Noureddine, alumnus, with a talk titled “The Unstoppable Power of Being Different”
• Layan Al Masri, student speaker, who presented “The Power of Inner Vision”
• Ali Nehme, alumnus, who shared “One Conversation That Changed Everything”

Each talk reflected the event’s central theme by examining how individuals can reconsider established beliefs, recognize their strengths, and reshape their perspectives through personal experiences and meaningful connections. The speakers offered the audience opportunities to reflect on different approaches to personal development, self-understanding, and decision-making.

Mariam Hassoun hosted the event, guiding the program and facilitating an engaging environment for the speakers and audience. The format encouraged participants to engage with ideas beyond the classroom and learn from experiences shared by members of the university community.
 

By welcoming students, alumni, and the wider community, TEDxPhoeniciaU 2025 extended its educational value beyond the university’s academic setting. The event promoted critical thinking, communication, the exchange of ideas, and lifelong learning while creating opportunities for community members to encounter diverse perspectives and reflect on their relevance to everyday life.
