After the success of the first TEDx University of Crete, the student event is back with a bang!
TEDx University of Crete is a conference co-organized by students of the University of Crete and the Region of Crete, and is addressed to both the student community and the wider public. Our goal is to spark discussion through interesting talks about ideas worth spreading. Ideas that motivate, inspire and motivate us to go even further.
Combining a large number of different aspects of everyday life and on the theme of "Favour", TEDx University of Crete will present talks by important people, some of whom are Odette Baron-Vassar (historian), Stathis Livathinos (Artistic Director of the National Theatre), Giorgos Tsiakalakis (Communications Manager at "Positive Voice"), Vasilios Zoulias (fashion designer), Angeliki Asimaki (researcher in cardiac pathology at St. George's University in London) and others.
Favor is acceptance, sympathy and faith in man, the selfless intention for interpersonal flourishing, basic conditions for social evolution. It is the way of thinking and at the same time a disposition towards people and things. It means desiring their existence, life and evolution. It is solidarity, love, kindness, faith in man, selflessness, kindness and encouragement, which should govern relationships between individuals. All these, in other words, which are missing from today's society and could make a difference.
Participants will have the opportunity to discover the different aspects of favor through 12 talks, to reflect, to be inspired, but most importantly to define what favor means to them. In addition, the event is framed by 4 different workshops, fixed activities and 3 musical performances that have been prepared especially for this.
The event will take place on Saturday, April 6, at the "N. Petridis" Amphitheater at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics of the University of Crete.
