From Tipperary to Cairo: an unusual learning experience | CHLOE TEEVAN | TEDxRoma

Chloe Teevan telling her journey from a small countryside town in Ireland to a chaotic Cairo, explores how cultural exchange and dialogue might begin to bridge the gaps between different cultures. Art performances are examples of projects that have the potential to be transformative, of ordinary people doing great things.


Chloe grew up in a family of arts managers and volunteered on numerous cultural events from a young age. After receiving her BA from Trinity College Dublin, Chloe worked on several festivals and events in Dublin and London, before moving to Cairo in October 2012, where she worked for two years as festival coordinator for Downtown Contemporary Arts Festival (D-CAF). She is currently pursuing an MA in Arab Studies at Georgetown University in Washington DC, with a focus on culture and urban development.
