Hitchhiking or how ( not ) to follow your dreams. | Chris Zahariev | TEDxYouth@ACSofia
The speaker shares a personal story about hitchhiking from an isolated place and draws a parallel between this experience and following your dreams. They emphasize that the goal isn’t a specific destination but the overall direction, often uncertain and without much baggage. Although the journey can seem scary and not everyone will support or understand your dreams, taking risks and trusting the right people along the way is essential. Chris Zahariev is a director, screenwriter and author whose work combines film, literature and social media. He is the creator of the documentary series and film "Getting Lost On Purpose", as well as some of the most watched music videos of the last few years by artists such as Molets, Dara, Graf and others. He is the winner of one of the most prestigious awards for a young artist in Bulgaria - "Flight in Art" by Stoyan Kambarev Foundation, as well as a nomination on the FORBES: 30 UNDER 30.

- 13:00Aging Bridges, Growing Loads | Doron Hekič | TEDxUniversityofLjubljanaMaster of Civil Engineering nearing the completion of his PhD. A researcher by heart and profession, he's been immersed in civil engineering since childhood. His work focuses on infrastructure and bridges — a field that is also his greatest passion. In his free time, he hikes, cycles, and brings new life to discarded objects. He credits seven years of road cycling training for his belief that most obstacles are created in our minds. He considers himself privileged to live the well-known saying: “Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” He says we should more often return to the original meanings of the words engineer (from Latin ingenious) and competition (from Latin to run together).His Edge of the Unknown: Will one day bridges tell us precisely what is their remaining lifetime?
