Africa’s bright future | Guy Lundy | TEDxArendal

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Why has the narrative around Africa recently changed from continual disaster to excitement about the future? In his talk, Guy adresses the major trends affecting the future of Africa and the opportunities and challenges presented by these trends. What must Africans do to make sure the future is bright? And why is this interesting to the rest of the world? Guy is a qualified futurist and experienced scenario planner, with a Masters degree in Futures Studies, and he is the author of two books about the future of South Africa. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
