Everything is Allowed | エリー・アンドリオプールー | TEDxDeree ACG

スタヴロス・ニアルコス財団文化センター(SNFCC)の業務執行責任者エリー・アンドリオプールーが、公共空間のルールは制約と見なされがちである一方、そのルールが生み出す質の高い包摂的な環境を来訪者が高く評価している点を取り上げています。SNFCCを事例に、よく設計されたルールは自由の障壁ではなく、参加・安全・市民的な対話を支えるものだと論じています。本講演は独立して運営されたTEDxイベントで行われました。

• 共有された価値と共同の責任が帰属意識を育む

In this speech, Elly Andriopoulou addresses the paradox of public space management—where visitors often view rules as restrictive, yet overwhelmingly value the high-quality, inclusive environment those very rules create. Using the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) as a case study, she argues that well-designed rules are not barriers to freedom, but rather essential enablers of participation, safety, and civic discourse. Rules foster belonging by communicating shared values (like environmental care and mutual respect), ensuring physical and psychological safety, and creating common accountability among diverse visitors. For rules to succeed, they must be consistently enforced, fair, open to continuous adaptation, and designed to preserve human dignity—ultimately transforming external restrictions into a shared commitment that allows a public space to truly serve everyone. Elly Andriopoulou is the Managing Director of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), appointed in June 2020 and reappointed in December 2023. She also serves on the Alpha Bank Board of Directors as a Non-Executive Director. Before joining the SNFCC, Elly held leadership positions in banking, strategy consulting, and philanthropy. After her MBA studies, Elly worked as a consultant for Oliver Wyman in Boston, and then moved to Citibank in Greece where she held various positions before becoming the Marketing Director. In 2012, she joined the Stavros Niarchos Foundation where she prepared the business plan and future operation of the SNFCC, and later managed the grants through which the SNF supports the SNFCC’s operation, since it was donated to the Greek State. She holds an MBA from Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, and a BA in Psychology from Deree College.
