What is New Acropolis?

New Acropolis is a School of Philosophy that promotes culture and practices volunteerism. It proposes an ideal of enduring values ​​to contribute to individual and collective evolution.
For more than 65 years, across more than 50 countries, the School of Philosophy’s programs have transformed the lives of thousands of people worldwide.

Areas of Action

Culture

At New Acropolis, we acknowledge the need to preserve and develop, through an integrative approach, the arts, science, mysticism, and politics as fundamental aspects that build a civilisation. Through a wide variety of culture-related activities, we develop ways to help build these four elements, with Philosophy as the common denominator.

Philosophy

Philosophy has always been a search for spiritual truth, a process of going deeper into the knowledge of nature, the human being, and the universe. Every act of searching is at the same time an exercise of freedom of consciousness in opposition to ignorance, confusion and the prejudices that prevent calm and deep reflection.

Volunteering

For New Acropolis, Volunteering is a practical way to embody and apply philosophy and Culture. It is the natural expression of generosity and service to society, which each idealist assumes as a responsibility of active and conscious participation to contribute to the common good.

Embark on an Inner Adventure

Introduction to Philosophy as a Way of Life

The Living Philosophy Course is an introduction and foundation towards living life with meaning and awareness. It brings together the ideas of the most prominent philosophers from the East and the West, especially those who left a deep mark on humanity. This comparative study of philosophies does not belong to any single thinker or school; it is part of the universal human heritage. It is more than just another course; it is an opportunity to promote philosophy as a way of life and engage deeply with ideas, practice together, and develop skills in a supportive community.

In ancient Greece, the Acropolis was the highest part of the city. There, the contact between the visible and invisible was established.

It is about a symbolic place in our imagination that inspires the path towards the highest part of ourselves.

We consider that our world needs new acropolises, not made of stone but of human beings, raised in the heart of our cities to grow internally and reestablish the profound ties that can unite us with other human beings and nature around us.
