SKGxAUTH Project: TEDxAUTH takes over Thessaloniki!
Thessaloniki is not just a city — it’s a living mosaic of people, ideas, and stories that shape its culture. TEDxAUTH, with a spirit as relentless and innovative as the one that characterizes this city, chose to create SKGxAUTH, a small episode series born with one purpose: to uncover these hidden treasures of the city […]
The Cleaningans
On Sunday, March 2, more than 30 volunteers, with gloves and bags in their hands, decided to welcome March, not by wearing “martakia”, but by cleaning the beach of Aretsou. With the particularly sunny weather, volunteers from “The Cleaningans” teamed up with the TEDxAUTH youth community to achieve a great goal. The goal of […]
Let’s talk about… comedy
In a small coffee shop in Thessaloniki, on a Sunday in February, we met Ira. Minimalistic or not, she talked about everything with the right amount of “rawness” and humor. How did your journey as a stand-up comedian start? Did you feel the need to speak to people through your scripts or did you just […]
The Welcome Party
We have talked several times about the concept of volunteering and what it offers us both on a societal and personal level. However, we have never explained the exact nature of being a volunteer at TEDxAUTH, which to be honest goes far beyond what you see on social media! That’s why we are here to […]
Let’s talk about… theatre
Some people love milk. Others hate it. But everyone should connect with it at Avlaia Theatre. Georgina and Nancy, however, aren’t holding a glass of milk. They have a tape recorder in front of them and they are talking to us. What made you say “yes” to this play at this moment in […]
I was also part of TEDx
TEDxAUTH counts seven years of existence, seven years of spreading ideas, inspiring even more people each time through its events. During this journey- from the very first event in 2018 with the theme “Ereisma” at the ceremony hall to its more recent event in 2023 with the theme “Methexis” at the city’s port- many things […]
Let’s talk about… safer sex
Traditionally, Valentine’s Day is celebrated with flowers, chocolates, poems, and sweet words. This year, TEDxAUTH decided to celebrate it differently. A few days ago, we visited the offices of MyCheckpoint in Thessaloniki, asked questions, learned, and looked at love through a different lens: that of safe love. Or rather, safer love. Mrs. Amalia Manolopoulou answered […]
To Infinity and beyond
If there is one thing we love as the TEDxAUTH team, it’s supporting our people! That’s why, on Sunday 21 January, members of our team, attended the opening of the new offices of the InfinityGreece, one of the most well-known organizations in Thessaloniki. The organization, which is celebrating 10 years of active presence and […]
Let’s talk about… handmade jewelry
Four women meet in a space of creating and sharing in the city center. Two young women, Aphrodite and Eleni create from scratch their own business, which gradually grows embracing all aspects of creativity. In front of us, their own journey unfolds, till they meet their Ithaca. 1. Is there a story behind the […]
“The Other Human”… is all of us
“The world exists only when you share it”, wrote Tasos Livaditis. Someone took this phrase, turning his words into actions and his pen into a ladle, which stirs a pot full of love. That’s how I imagine the idea behind “The Other Human” (which is known as “Allos Anhtropos” in Greek) was born. And their […]
