Epafi: The Prerequisite of Empathy | Erietta Kourkoulou - Latsi | TEDxUniversityofMacedonia

In a world where the voices of the voiceless often go unheard, one young woman stands as a passionate advocate for change, challenging us to rethink our relationship with animals and the impact of our choices on their lives. As she shares her journey to veganism, we are taken on a thought-provoking exploration of the interconnectedness of all life and the profound impact of our dietary choices on the world around us. Through her words, she challenges us to expand our circle of empathy, to recognize the sentience and inherent worth of all living beings, and to align our actions with our values of kindness and respect. Erietta studied Sociology at the American College of Greece and later received her MA in Animal Studies from New York University. She has been involved in the animal rights movement since she was 15 years old, founding her first NPO, “Save a Greek Stray” in 2012. In 2020, she founded the NPO “A Promise to Animals”, aiming to raise awareness of the negative effects of livestock farming and the consumption of animal products and to encourage the collective transition to a plant-based diet. Erietta is President of the Matilda Foundation, an institution dedicated to the protection of children from all forms of abuse as well as to the promotion and protection of their rights. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
