UP NEXT: Noluvuyo Gqadu helps us to reframe how coding & computational thinking can unite us into a new way of doing things. Coding can help kids gain a better understanding of the world around them & is a new African language that can solve our unique problems. #TEDxLytteltonWomen

"While Africa is connected through technology, Africans through the ages have experienced the same challenges with technology. By introducing children to coding from a young age, we're giving them the tools to solve the problems of tomorrow through a new language." Noluvuyo Gqadu

UP NEXT: Dorah Marema will highlight how being aware of the decisions that we make can play a crucial role in solving the root cause of community & global problems such as climate change. #TEDxLytteltonWomen

"While those who did not contribute to climate change, they find themselves as the victims of it. African women in the agri-environmental sector are now being given the platform to transform the narrative at a policy development stage, and no longer as mere end-users."

UP NEXT: Nizenande Machi believes that every relationship that desires to “live happily ever after” goes through critical points of inflection, which is a time to confront & reckon with pain, power + posture.

"Confronting your pain presents an opportunity for you to challenge years of anger which brings subtle but destructive harm. Give yourself permission to reflect and redefine this in your own narrative." Nizenande Machi #TEDxLytteltonWomen

Selemo is Summer meaning 'to salvage fallen crops from loose soil'. We use this to shine a spotlight on the hot issues as we wrap up the day with a reminder of the warm days yet to come. The speakers in this session are Anne Githuku Shongwe, Celeste Dial & Tobeka Lwana

UP NEXT: Anne Githuku Shongwe invites us to mobilise our collective discontent to deal with a massive blow to the unequal, transactional & unsafe sexual relations between young girls and older men that threaten the goal of ending AIDS by 2030. #TEDxLytteltonWomen

"The hope of the war against the abuse of the vulnerability of young girls lies in the efforts of members of communities who actively display intolerance to behaviour that maintains the culture of abuse." Anne Githuku Shongwe #TEDxLytteltonWomen

UP NEXT: Celeste Diale helps us to imagine a world where the education system is a physically independent network that is constantly coding learning methods to unlock children's full potential, overcoming the limits of learning. #TEDxLytteltonWomen

"The evolution of the education system requires us to think outside of the box & allow children to be stimulated beyond the conforms which we give to gender & intelligence." Celeste Diale #TEDxLytteltonWomen

UP NEXT: Tobeka Lwana zones in on inclusion & participation, and why these are important for those who have a degree of privilege & power to be inclusive for the greater good. #TEDxLytteltonWomen

"By submitting to the narratives perpetuated by those who do not understand your experience, you are doing a disservice to yourself & give up the right to uphold your dignity. You have a role to play in influencing change by embracing your right to a quality life." Tobeka Lwana
