Courses and Activities
Since 1957, New Acropolis has offered courses and activities around the world which go beyond simply "studying philosophy."
The emphasis in each and every one of our courses and activities is the rediscovery of the unique gifts which every human being possesses in potential. Doing, we learn and grow, so what New Acropolis promotes is "living philosophy."
Living philosophy gives us a global vision of life, develops each person’s potential and helps us live in harmony with Nature, respecting the multiplicity of religions, ethnicities and social conditions.
