TEDx UniversityofMacedonia is an independently organized TED-like event, which is run volunteerly by a team of approximately 22 students of University of Macedonia. Through ideas worth spreading our aspect is to develop an open platform where young people can share ideas, interact, innovate, discuss and change the university‘s community in a positive way. TEDx UniversityofMacedonia was organized for the first time 7 years ago when a young student dared to take the initiative to organize the first TEDx University event in Northern Greece. Since then, TEDxUniversityofMacedonia has managed to give voice to ideas worth spreading and constitute a reason for change and action in the community of universities and generally of young people of Thessaloniki.

There are periodic comets that reappear over the centuries. Most famous is Haley’s, whose sum is 7. A number that marks #TEDxUoM2019 as it is the seventh consecutive TEDxUniversityofMacedonia event. All this is happening in our visible field. All we have to do is look up in the sky.
That is what we did on Friday 28th, June 2019 at Matute Rooftop bar, where the first meet-up of this year’s TEDx UniversityofMacedonia with the city of Thessaloniki took place.
