TEDxShar e Naw is an independent TEDx community in Kabul. Since 2023, we’ve hosted standard events, cultural events, networking events, studio events, and TEDxLive gatherings connected to TED’s global stage. Together we’ve welcomed 30+ speakers, 20+ sponsors, and over 500 audience members into a growing circle of ideas worth spreading.
Bold stages for bold ideas. These flagship gatherings bring diverse voices together, where speakers share stories, research, and visions that move communities forward and spark change across Kabul and beyond.
A celebration of Afghan culture and untold stories. RooTED explores traditions, art, and creativity, showing how heritage connects generations while inspiring new ways to see the world.
A launchpad for dreams and daring first steps. StarTED is where rising founders, makers, and innovators take the stage to share how it all began; the sparks, the setbacks, the “what ifs.” These events spotlight early-stage ideas and unfinished journeys, inviting the audience into the messy, magical process of starting something new.
Spaces built for human connection. ConnecTED gatherings focus on networking and collaboration, giving members a chance to meet, exchange ideas, and build lasting relationships within the TEDx community.
Together we build stages, spark conversations, and celebrate voices that deserve to be heard.
