Festival of Minds

Aly Khalifa speaks at Festival of Minds

The Festival Of Minds is a new event that aims to bring a similar experience of the TED X series to regional Australia. Hosted at the Bega Civic Centre, the Festival of Open Minds was presented by Ian Campbell and About Regional and aimed to pull together national and local ideas and identities with the hope of strengthening regional communities.

The theme for the festival was ‘People with Oomph!’ and our 2019 Expert In Residence Aly Khalifa was invited to speak as keynote. Aly Khalifa is focusing on harvesting plastic waste from our oceans to turn it into useful products for the circular economy and is heavily involved with our program.
