- 16:31Έκανα μαστεκτομή πριν κλείσω τα 30 | Eleni Theodosopoulou | TEDxZakynthosΗ Ελένη Θεοδοσοπούλου καθήλωσε το κοινό του TEDx Ζάκυνθος περιγράφοντας τη βιωματική της εμπειρία σχετικά με τη μαστεκτομή και υστεροκτομή που αποφάσισε να κάνει πριν τα τριάντα της χρόνια. Μα συγκινητική ομιλία αλλά και ταυτόχρονα διαφωτιστική για την πρόληψη, για την εξέλιξη της ιατρικής, για τις δύσκολες αποφάσεις που καλούνται πολλές γυναίκες να πάρουν όταν έρχονται αντιμέτωπες με αυτά τα ιατρικά ζητήματα. Μια διαδρομή επίπονη, έντονη, δύσκολη. Μια περιγραφή των δύσκολων και χρονοβόρων ιατρικών πράξεων και των ψυχολογικών επιπτώσεών τους. Η Ελένη Θεοδοσοπούλου μας συγκίνησε, μας αφύπνισε, μας άγγιξε. Ένα κορίτσι με δύναμη. Ένας άνθρωπος που μίλησε με ειλικρίνεια και με συναίσθημα. Eleni Theodosopoulou is 31 years old and works as both an actress and a pastry chef. She grew up in a quiet neighborhood in Athens and left at 18 for London, where she studied and worked for the next 7 years. In 2018, she returned to Greece, worked in theater, and opened a bakery-pastry shop in Pangrati called Monokeros, which she sold last spring. Her immediate plans include opening a pastry shop in Filothei before this summer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

- 18:47Ξετετραγώνισε τον κύκλο | Dr. Danae Deligeorges | TEDxZakynthosΗ Δανάη Δεληγέωργη μας προκάλεσε να σκεφτούμε αν η χαρισματικότητα χωράει σε κουτάκια.

Αλήθεια εσύ σε ποιο κουτί θα έμπαινες; Μα ήταν κουτιά ασφάλειας ή φυλακές; Και αν τα κουτιά αναμειγνύονταν; Κι αν σκεφτόμασταν έξω από τα κουτιά; Κι αν αυτό είναι ελευθερία, ευφυΐα και εξέλιξη; Μια μαγική παραβολή με τον μοναδικό αφηγηματικό τρόπο που ενώνει την επιστημονική έρευνα με την κατανόηση.
