How will Generation Z survive, and all those before and after, that got lost in the social media jungle? How will they dream their own dreams and not the dreams of others? Lena Divani, prolific writer and academic suggests "with a deep jump and a high jump - simultaneously"! Lena Divani is a writer and - until 2022 when she resigned for reasons of protest - a Professor at the Law Department of the University of Athens, where she taught 20th century Greek and Balkan history of foreign policy.
She published several monographs and series of articles on issues of nationalism, minorities and territorial rivalries. She was a Visiting Research Fellow at Harvard University, King's College London and at the League of Nations Archive (UN) in Geneva. She is a founding member of the Greek National Commission for Human Rights.
She entered the world of letters in 1994 with the collection of short stories "Why don't you talk about me" and won the MARA RALLI debut author prize. She published several novels, short story collections and children's books translated into several languages and adapted for television. Her latest book WORKING BOY was chosen to represent Greece for the READERS FOR EUROPE initiative by the library of the European Union. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
