*Theme: “EREISMA” *

Ereisma is a word that has its origins in ancient times, though is still used today, both literally and metaphorically. Ereisma means something that is mounted or made in a given position to provide support. It also means everything that serves as the basis, the starting point and the foundation of an action, thought or state.For us in TEDxAUTH, Ereisma is the foundations we are laying for a new framework at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which we wish to see become stronger with each passing year.

*Session: “TELOS” * This session’s core is purpose. Telos is the fundamental principle of the Aristotelian philosophy and is connected with completion and achievement. The speeches of Session Telos aim to highlight the speakers’ goals and motivation in their lives.
