A silent shift doesn't announce itself. It moves through the way a doctor talks to a patient, the way an artist reimagines grief, the way a technology changes a generation before anyone names it. TEDxUMP 2026 gathers the people living these shifts — and gives them a microphone. April 18, Oujda.

About TEDxUMP

In 2026, TEDxUMP returns to Oujda for its third edition — independently organized by students of Mohammed Premier University, for the community of eastern Morocco. What began as a single event exploring art and vision has grown into a platform where the conversations that matter — about resilience, about mental health, about what technology is doing to us — finally find a stage. This is not a conference. It's a reckoning with what's quietly changing around us.

TEDxUMP هو حدث TEDx مستقل منظَّم في جامعة محمد الأول بوجدة، المغرب. النسخة الثالثة تحت شعار "The Silent Shift" تجمع بين الطب، الفن والتكنولوجيا لتسليط الضوء على التغيرات الصامتة التي تشكل عالمنا.

15+ Inspiring Talks

Our Speakers

Nasser AKABAB

Nasser AKABAB

ACTOR — Talk: "From the screens to the street"

Nasser Akabab is a celebrated Moroccan actor known for his compelling portrayals of youth and societal shifts. His talk, "From the screens to the street," explores how theatrical arts bridge the gap between digital representation and raw street-level reality, giving voice to eastern Morocco's unspoken narratives.

Ismail Hammich

Ismail Hammich

ADVOCATE — Talk: "Rise and fall of careers in the digital age"

Ismail Hammich was diagnosed with cancer and chose to speak about it openly — at a time and in a culture where illness is often carried in silence. His advocacy is the shift this event is named for.

Issam Harti

Issam Harti

PSYCHIATRIST — Talk: "Intersections entre santé physique et mentale"

Dr. Issam Harti is a practicing psychiatrist in Oujda dedicated to de-stigmatizing mental illness in eastern Morocco.
