TEDxPatras - Opportunities

TEDxPatras 2016 - Opportunities (Opportunities)

Ευκαιρίες

Ευκαιρία (ενικός αριθμός): Η ευνοϊκή περίσταση, η κατάλληλη χρονική στιγμή για να δημιουργηθεί κάτι. Αγγλικός όρος: Opportunity. Ευκαιρίες (πληθυντικός αριθμός): Το θεματικό του TEDxPatras 2016: Opportunities!

Ευκαιρίες που γεννήθηκαν, δημιουργήθηκαν, αξιοποιήθηκαν ή και χάθηκαν. Ευκαιρίες που κάποιοι εντόπισαν, σε κάποιους προσφέρθηκαν ή απλώς βρέθηκαν στην πορεία τους. Ευκαιρίες του ενός, των περισσότερων, των πολλών ή όλων. Ευκαιρίες που οδήγησαν σε εμπειρίες, αλλαγές, ανακαλύψεις, πρόοδο ή σε…νέες ευκαιρίες!

Ευκαιρίες υπάρχουν παντού και υπήρχαν πάντοτε. Στη ζωή, στην ιστορία, στις επιστήμες, στις τέχνες. Ακόμα και στα δύσκολα, στην κρίση, στην απουσία, στην αποτυχία. Ακόμα κι όταν χάνεις μια ευκαιρία, ενδεχομένως μια άλλη να γεννιέται.

Opportunities

Opportunity (singular): A favorable or advantageous situation for goal attainment. A chance for progress or advancement.

Opportunities (plural): The theme of TEDxPatras 2016!

Opportunities that were born, created, leveraged or were wasted. Opportunities that someone witnessed, was offered or just discovered along the way. Opportunities for individuals, for many, or for everyone. Opportunities that led to experiences, changes, discoveries, progress or to... new opportunities!

Opportunities do exist and always did. In life, in history, in science, in art. Even in times of hardship, in a crisis, in absence, in failure. Even when you lose an opportunity, another one is probably born. Are “Opportunities” inextricably interwoven with each and every fold of human life, evolution and activity?

*** TED ***

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then TED expanded to a program consisting of a series of different types of events of international interest attracting speakers, viewers and ideas from different disciplines. TED now consists of a network of events, in global and local level. Among the TED events are the two annual conferences (TED Conference and TED Global), the TED Talks video site, the annual TED Prize and the local TED events. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations). Selected talks from these events are also turned into TED Talks videos.

*** TEDx ***

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations).

*** TEDxPatras ***

TEDxPatras is the first local, self-organized standard TEDx event organized in Western Greece. It aims to highlight and promote the idea of TED to the regions’ audience, by transmitting, through the speakers, inspiration and motivation for exploring alternative and innovative ideologies.
