Optimistic Tunisia 3

Our Optimistic Tunisia 3 was a two-day climate change focused side event held in the Tunisia Pavilion at COP28 UAE.
Our target is to support Tunisia presence at COP28 with valuable content from success stories by Tunisian Talents in Tunisia and around the world.

It was also a great opportunity for Tunisian Talents to unite and network for both individual and collective interests.

We had 9 amazing panels that are recorded and live streamed, which you’re invited to share within your global social networks and contribute to change global image, perception and narrative about Tunisia and Tunisians.

Thank to all the participants for joining us and enjoying the event.
