The Beauty of Us (in French) | Astrid Dalais | TEDxPlainesWilhems

450,000 people came together over 3 days in December 2015 to celebrate diversity in ethnicity & culture, driven by the desire to revitalise the rich heritage of Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius.

With years of experience in the hospitality & creative industry, ASTRID DALAIS has an unstoppable appetite for contemporary culture and breathes unity through diversity. She envisions a prolific future for Mauritius. A future where young people can aim for a creative career, where old traditions and heritage are being treated with care and where both can live in harmony with progress and the development of our society. Embodied through the capital city of Port Louis, an urban environment which today tells the story of long forgotten dreams of being an active cultural city, came to birth the idea of the PORLWI initiative.
