Effective Altruism: A New Way to Change the World

🌍 Can Doing Good Be More Effective?

Come find out at Thessaloniki’s first-ever Effective Altruism event.

If you care about solving big problems—like global health, animal suffering, climate risk, or the future of humanity—but think most solutions feel vague, wasteful, or just not enough… you’re not alone.

This is for the people who ask:

• “What actually works?”
• “Where can I have real impact?”
• “Is there a community of people who think like this?”

Yes, there is. And we’re building it—right here in Thessaloniki.

👀 What’s Happening

• TED Talk screening – a powerful, bite-sized talk to spark new ideas.
• Special guest ⭐️: Kyle Lucchese – Fresh from the international EA scene, Kyle's only in town for a few days —this is your chance to hear what he’s learned, what actually works, and where the EA movement is heading next.
• Open discussion + hangout – ask questions, debate ideas, or just vibe with curious, thoughtful people.
• Free snacks + good company – always.
