Dragoș Argint opened the stage at the 4th edition of TEDx Copou with a talk on the power of authentic relationships to multiply good. Beginning with the curiosity that sparks every new start, moving through meaningful connections, and arriving at deep human bonds, Dragoș showed how genuine involvement is the foundation of communities that create real impact.In a world flooded with information, his solution is clear: let’s reconnect through people, not algorithms—let’s build networks rooted in values, not in “likes.”“Connect to multiply the good” is more than an idea. It’s a call to action. “I am a mountain of human connection.” That’s how Dragoș Argint defines himself — a person who, for over 7 years, has been building bridges between people, discovering and nurturing meaningful communities. After gaining professional experience abroad, Dragoș chose to return home to contribute to a better future. A software development recruiter, public speaking mentor, and curator of TEDxAristide Demetriade, he wholeheartedly believes that only together — through strong communities — can we truly change the world. His talk, “Connect to Multiply the Good,” is a sincere invitation to get involved, to create authentic relationships, and to cultivate lasting human connections. Because at its core, every real relationship is a source of energy and inspiration. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
