On Fridays we Love Issue 3: The Villa (pt.2)
A performance that concerns the audience, makes them review and think: why? Natasa, Lila and Aggeliki “color” the conversation incarnating a special role each one of them. Their common denominator is that they are women. In continuation of the previous conversation and deepening in it a bit more, the three of them give answers to […]
Welcome to my TEDx Talk Ep.8: I am what I chose to be!
Who do you love the most? Mom or Dad? What do you want to be when you grow up? Which is your favorite animal? All of the above are different questions that our elders asked us when we were little children. These questions are connected in one thing only: we needed to choose before we could […]
Family is…
Family undoubtedly represents the most important means of socialization for the individual. Moreover, through actions, it contributes to transforming the person into a sociocultural being, and to shaping the child’s character to a great extent. First and perhaps most importantly, family in its basic structure refers to the people with whom we are related by […]
Welcome to my TEDx Talk Ep.7: I can really fly!
Superpowers. A multidimensional phrase, ready to be interpreted in a completely different way by everyone. Without much effort, we find our thoughts drifting to many different things upon hearing it. A “warm” interpretation was given by N., who told us: “a superpower that could be useful in this world is an open heart. If we […]
The Psychology of Transportation: from man to road
Watching the great movie of Pantelis Voulgaris, one would consider that eventually, it is indeed “A Long Road”.

However, from a literal point of view, we are moving through the road network as a […]
On Fridays we Love: Auguste Corteau
“What does it mean when a book unlocks doors in your soul that you keep tightly closed because pain lives unabated inside them?” the author writes.

Welcome to my TEDx Talk Ep.6: Your smile breathes new life into me
During our first seconds on this earth, one would say something completely strange happens. The moment the doctor holds you in his arms and announces your birth, everyone will only wish for one thing: for you to cry. And that time will probably be the only time, in your entire later life, that everyone will pray that […]
We are all disabled people
In 2001, the revised constitution of Greece made a correction of utmost importance. It established the term “Persons with Disabilities”, to replace the previous “Persons with Special Needs”. The National Confederation of Persons with Disabilities also advocates for this specific change, which, in an open letter to the government in 2021 regarding digital accessibility, specifically […]
Welcome to my TEDx Talk Ep.5: Art was actually the missing piece
The great philosopher Aristotle, in his “Poetics”, formulated the well-known definition of tragedy: Tragedy is, then, a representation of an action that is heroic and complete and of a certain magnitude—by means of language enriched with all kinds of ornament, each used separately in the different parts of the play: it represents men in action […]
The problematic of tradition
Our identity is a mosaic of perceptions, which are renewed and enriched throughout our lives. Along the way, there are times when we are given the opportunity to choose the pieces that will make up our identity. However, other times, this choice is out of our control. A case as such is that of the […]
