TEDxAthens with Main Topic the "art of subversion"

Innovative ideas were presented as part of the event
Another TEDxAthens event aimed at highlighting important ideas has come to a successful conclusion. This year's TEDxAthens event, held on Saturday 3 December at the cultural center "Hellenic World", main theme was "The Art of Subversion".
Prominent personalities from the art world, of education and universities, of entrepreneurship and sports shared with the Athenian public their experiences and ideas with reference point the "Art of Upheaval".
Disruptive can be considered any element that has the potential to redefine the way a system or situation works, changing it forever. From Wikipedia and Twitter to molecular cuisine and tsunamis, the world is full of upheavals that redefine themselves on a daily basis, some less and some more, the way we live.
Along with the 23 speeches made as part of the event, TÉDxAthens organized a series of activities and workshops covering a range of topics from gastronomy to technology, showing how subversiveness, η φαντασία και οι πρωτοπόρες ιδέες μπορούν να εφαρμοστούν σχεδόν σε οποιοδήποτε τομέα.
Yet, ολοκληρώθηκαν και οι εργασίες του διαγωνισμού TEDxAthens Challenge, μιας νέας δράσης που εγκαινίασε φέτος το ΤΕDxAthens, με στόχο να αναδείξει και να υποστηρίξει αξιόλογες πρωτοβουλίες από το χώρο της παιδείας και της μάθησης. Στη σκηνή της εκδήλωσης, παρουσιάστηκαν οι τρεις επικρατέστερες ιδέες.
Μετά από ψηφοφορία του κοινού, νικητής αναδείχθηκε η δράση «Urban Dig Project – ανασκαφή φαντασμάτων πολιτισμού στη σύγχρονη πόλη», ενώ στη δεύτερη και τρίτη θέση βρέθηκαν οι δράσεις «Athens Plaython» και «ACSTAC».
Ο Δημήτρης Καλαβρός, curator του ΤΕDxAthens, δήλωσε σχετικά: «Είμαστε πολύ χαρούμενοι που η προσπάθειά μας να οργανώσουμε μία τόσο σημαντική εκδήλωση στην πόλη μας, στέφθηκε με επιτυχία για τρίτη συνεχή χρονιά. Είμαστε μία ομάδα 38 εθελοντών που εδώ και ένα χρόνο προσπαθήσαμε για το καλύτερο δυνατό αποτέλεσμα. Εκτός από την ίδια την εκδήλωση, ζήσαμε την αξία της εθελοντικής συνεργασίας και τη σημασία της οργάνωσης δράσεων που μπορούν να προσφέρουν στις σημερινές συνθήκες της χώρας».
Από την πλευρά του ο Άκης Τσουκαλίδης, επίσης curator ΤΕDxAthens, reported: «Στη σημερινή εποχή είναι πιο έντονη από ποτέ η ανάγκη να βρεθούν νέα μονοπάτια που θα μας οδηγήσουν σε δημιουργικές αλλαγές. Από την οικονομία και τις επιχειρήσεις, μέχρι την κοινωνία, και τις μικρές καθημερινές μας συνήθειες, υπάρχει η πεποίθηση πως οι δημιουργικές και ταυτόχρονα ανατρεπτικές ιδέες και πρωτοβουλίες μπορούν να δώσουν νέα πνοή και να μεταμορφώσουν τον κόσμο μας. Γι’ αυτό το λόγο, μας γεμίζει με χαρά και αισιοδοξία η μεγάλη ανταπόκριση και συμμετοχή του κοινού στην πρωτοβουλία μας»

Harrison Ford : Θα υποδυθεί για πέμπτη φορά τον Indiana Jones

Σε ένα χρόνο συμπληρώνει τα εβδομήντα ωστόσο αυτό δεν φαίνεται να πτοεί και ιδιαίτερα τον Harrison Ford που θα υποδυθεί για ακόμα μια φορά τον ήρωα-αρχαιολόγο Indiana Jones.
Τα γυρίσματα θα ξεκινήσουν σε έναν χρόνο κι ο Harrison Ford δηλώνει ενθουσιασμένος: «Έχω ισχυρή φιλοδοξία να το κάνω όσο είμαι ακόμη ζωντανός. Είμαι διαθέσιμος. Δεν είμαι φθηνός, αλλά είμαι διαθέσιμος».

Ο σκηνοθέτης Steven Spielberg επιβεβαίωσε ότι ο George Lucas επιμελείται την ιστορία της επόμενης ταινίας. Η τελευταία ταινία του Indiana Jones ήταν το 2008, αλλά δεν πήρε και ιδιαίτερα καλές κριτικές. Όπως ανέφερε ο Spielberg, ήταν πολύ χαρούμενος με την ταινία του αλλά καταλαβαίνει τους ανθρώπους που δεν τους άρεσε και ιδιαίτερα η πλοκή της.

THEATER : "Fodariko" with a third wreath in Thessaloniki

From 4 January at Megaro

"The third wreath" by Stamatis Fasoulis and Thanasis Niarchou, based on the book by Kostas Tachtsis, presented by 4 January 2012 at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall.
"The Third Wreath", one of the most important modern Greek novels, it was issued 1962. Autobiographical work, with persons from the life and memories of the author, outlines in a way unprecedented for its time a piece of modern Greek history through the eyes of two women, of Nina and Hekabe.
Two women familiar, full of strength and weaknesses, they unfold in front of the viewers the thread of their lives: weddings, infidelities, divorces, deaths, financial failures, family dramas.
The personal, their little story is tied to the big story, with the history of modern Greece, the main events of the first half of the last century, sometimes decisive and sometimes as a background in an emotional landscape. Nina's third wreath, her last marriage to her husband and son of Hekabe, is where the story begins and ends. A circle that closes all the passion of the two heroines for life, the struggle for survival, the cruelty, the tenderness, but also their humor and self-mockery, which is transferred to the theater stage.
They are playing: Nena Mendi, Philaretis Komnenos, Yannis Stankoglou, Tania Trypi and twenty other actors.

The values ​​of our culture are a guarantee for a better tomorrow and with them we can build the Greece we dream of .
In the difficult times for our people and the all-out attack that is carried out in all areas of our lives with the removal of our social and economic conquests of years, the discredit of Culture could not be missing, which has been relegated from a necessary social and popular good to a product to be sold for profit, accessible to the few. The loneliness, the hypocritical petty-bourgeois conception of social progress, the anguish of the man-creator in the face of death. Issues as topical today as yesterday.
