Change begins within - a journey of growth and development | Samuel Kembou | TEDxLausanne

In this talk, Samuel Kembou will take us on a multi-layered journey of development. We will travel with him from Cameroon to Switzerland back to Côte d’Ivoire; we will navigate from early childhood to fulfilled adult lives, from receiving to giving, from mud to gold...

This exploration of the different meanings of development will bring unexpected findings and leave us with a question: what do we do in the face of adversity? With a diverse background in project management, monitoring and learning, and impact evaluations, Samuel Kembou plays a pivotal role in steering the Jacobs Foundation's dynamic learning initiatives.

With over a decade of professional experience, he has worked as an Economist in prominent international organizations, served as a Lecturer at the University of Lausanne, and is a co-principal Investigator in large-scale randomized experiments assessing educational interventions in West Africa. 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
