TEDxAcademy is a licensed TEDx event that takes place every year in Athens. Greece. TEDxAcademy invites 15 exceptional thinkers and doers every September to contemplate and share perspectives that are insightful, thought-provoking and at times controversial. Our overall philosophy can be summarized as follows: we can and have the duty to make our global and local communities and even more so, ourselves, better.TEDxAcademy past speakers include Richard Saul Wurman founder of TED, Peter Diamandis co-founder of Singularity University, Michael Ignatieff, James Robinson, Daniel Gilbert, Dimitri Nanopoulos and many more outstanding speakers.Academy was originally founded by Plato in Athens in 387 BC and was a conversational platform for ideas for the advancement of literature, science and art. Over 2000 years later TED is based on the same principle and TEDxAcademy is inspired by linking the past with the future by creating a platform for dialogue for change in Greece. This year at TEDxAcademy we want to ask the simple questions. Are we making a big enough impact in the world?Do we make a meaningful difference in the lives of others in our community?Everything begins when we dare to show up as the best version of ourselves. This sounds simple but it requires vigilance and demanding effort. When we are at our best selves, we pursue the future with courage, profound human connection, imagination, thrilling possibility and understanding.Because ultimately, this is why we are on the planet:For each of us to show up as the best person we can be – not for selfish reasons, but because our communities and the world deserves our best efforts to help make them better!
