Ο Σταύρος Παναγιωτίδης μέσα από μύθους και αλήθειες για την ελληνική ιστορία μας έφερε σε επαφή με ερμηνείες και παρερμηνείες. Με μυθεύματα και επιστημονικά τεκμήρια. Μας εξήγησε ότι οι ιστορικοί μύθοι γεννιούνται μέσα από την ανάγκη ανθρώπων και εξουσιών να κάνουν ένα επιτυχημένο προξενιό ανάμεσα στο παρελθόν και στο παρόν τους. Ποιος είναι ο ρόλος του κράτους στη διαμόρφωση της ιστορικής αντίληψης; Ποιος είναι ο ρόλος του παρόντος στη διάπλαση της ιστορικής πραγματικότητας. Με εξαιρετική άνεση να παρουσιάζει αλήθειες και μύθους μας προκάλεσε να έχουμε μια σκωπτική ματιά απέναντι στην ιστορία. Stavros Panagiotidis was born in 1982 in Thessaloniki and lives in Athens.

Ο Παναγιώτης Πιτσίνιαγκας έχει σπουδάσει στην Σχολή Εφαρμοσμένων Μαθηματικών και Φυσικών Επιστημών στο Εθνικό Μετσόβιο Πολυτεχνείο. Κύριο μέρος της δουλειάς του Παναγιώτη Πιτσίνιαγκα είναι να επισκέπτεται σχολεία και να βοηθά τους μαθητές και τις μαθήτριες να δεχτούν πιο εύκολα τη διαφορετικότητα. Αρχικά των άλλων και μετά τη δική τους. Υλοποιεί βιωματικές παρεμβάσεις σε σχολεία και στο γενικό κοινό από το 2012. Μέχρι σήμερα έχει συζητήσει για την αναπηρία, την προσβασιμότητα και τη συμπερίληψη με πάνω από 160.000 παιδιά σε περισσότερα από 1.800 εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα. Στη σκηνή του TEDx Ζάκυνθος μοιράστηκε μια διαφορετική εμπειρία. Μια ξεχωριστή σχέση αγάπης με τον σκύλο του, τη Μπάγια. Μέσα από τη διαδρομή της σύνδεσης τους αναπτύχθηκε ο ιστός της φιλίας, της προσβασιμότητας, της ενσυναίσθησης για να φτάσουμε στο τέλος της διαδρομής, μέσα από την ευθανασία, στο δικαίωμα στον θάνατο. A major part of Panagiotis' work is visiting schools and helping students to more easily embrace diversity—first accepting others, then themselves. Since 2012, he has been implementing experiential interventions in schools, companies, and with the general public. To date, he has engaged over 160,000 children in more than 1,800 educational programs on disability, accessibility, and inclusion.In recent years, as an Inclusion and Accessibility Advisor, he has been supporting companies, organizations, and institutions in becoming more accessible and welcoming to people with disabilities and mobility challenges.He studied at the School of Applied Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the National Technical University of Athens. Panagiotis sustained a mobility impairment at the age of 21 and has since been using a manual wheelchair for his mobility.
