Develop a human-to-human approach, stimulating creativity to build a new
society. That is the vision of designer Hercules Georgiadis.
In 2009,
witnessing the deepening crisis in Greece and the extent to which anger,
selfishness and inertia were adding to economic deprivation, Georgiadis
started wondering how his fellow citizens could avoid losing all hope
in the future. By going out and meeting various organizations or groups
of people to suggest they work together, he experienced first-hand these
obstacles related to despair and a total lack of faith in creative
thinking. From simple observations, he proposed solutions to promote the
development of creative potential. He suggested organizing workshops
for students to teach them how to make presentations, or developing
tutorials for architecture students in the use of CAD or structural
engineering software useful in their profession. Although free, his
proposals failed to be implemented. And yet, when he managed to mobilize
a small town of 20,000 concerned and motivated citizens, the result was
astounding, with several cultural events born from these moments of
collective creativity.
Which just goes to show, concluded the speaker,
that it is important to tap into the creative potential of each person
in order to combat fear and inhibition, see beyond the crisis to the
opportunities it conceals, and constantly act to change our world.
