The survival, progress and creativity of small enterprises
One of the advantages of social media is that they have allowed space for small enterprises to develop and bloom. Simultaneously, the Covid-19 pandemic and people’s need on the one hand for a basic or additional income and on the other hand for easy online markets, gave rise to the creation of several small enterprises.

Have you submitted your tax return to the state of love?
What is the meaning of life? Is love the meaning of life? If the answer is yes, then what is love? We have all faced these questions -or in other words these existential worries, as we usually call them – at some point in our lives and we have tried to define them from the […]
”Beyond the limits” the meteorological phenomenon of rainbows through the eyes of TEDxAUTH
Rainbows. A physical phenomenon. So physical that you don’t see them only after rain and thunderstorms, but also observe them within you in our day to day lives. The curve of the iris with its seven colours associates itself to humanity’s urge of going “Beyond the limits” within its diversity, fantasy, and power of emotions. […]
Interview with Mr Valentine
For this year’s Valentine’s Day, TEDxAUTH decided it’s time to look for its own Valentine. As a modern Penelope, we won’t deny it – because, above all, we are humble – there were many prospective suitors.

The letter “l” may not be the only thing that sticks up to the roof of your mouth for long, as it takes bougatsas with custard, cheese and minced meat, koulouria, the flavours of the Ladadika and the entire city along with it. Salonika is a city that’s beautiful, a city that’s magical, a […]
The Curious Case of Reality Shows
“Camera roll, Action!“ Somebody says those words and a new episode begins filming. What is it that they’re filming you ask? Why, a reality show. It is a curious case to examine. It has the word “reality“ in its name and still nothing about it is real. There are scripts or guidelines to each and […]
“The man in the dark blue suit” Photo-Episode A, pt.1
“I can’t understand why in movies the corpses are discovered in normal working hours, while we are always called at the crack of dawn. They told me to choose crime reportage, they told me that it would be fun… ,“ Daphne nearly soliloquized as she was cozying up on the passenger seat. “Good morning to […]
And you? Do you stand?
Do you recall almost fifteen years ago the famous game “Stand!”? We had picked it out from the memorable TV series “Ευτυχισμένοι Μαζί” (meaning “Happy Together”) and it was a sensation. I remember as a child wonderful settings, most of them embarrassing; but is there any childhood without embarrassment for the absurd things we did? […]
An ode to wounded hearts
It isn’t a hidden fact that human relationships would be easier if we were well-prepared to face the possibility of being captured. If only there were a drug, some drawn out lines that you could follow because you knew that it was the only way to close your wounds. Like with injuries of the human […]
