How does civic engagement work today? Getting involved is an adventure filled with surprises, added value, some rare disappointments and mainly a lot of small steps to a better world. Based on several personal experiences but also on other sources, Diane will show you why it is important to get involved and what the added value to civic engagement is. Is it the same for young people and for the younger generation? Diane got her MA in Business Engineering in June 2016. Before going on the job market, she decided to take a year to get involved in civic participation projects. Since September, she has been the President of Academics for Development in Louvain-la-Neuve, a student association that promotes social entrepreneurship and sustainable development. She is also an active member of the group of young ambassadors for the European Structured Dialog, member of the general assembly of the NGO Plan Belgique and takes part in various international activities with young people. 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
