Celebrating World Philosophy Day
Every year at New Acropolis India we celebrate World Philosophy Day. This initiative in in line with centers of New Acropolis around the world that respond to the call of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This initiative has been taking place every November since 2002.
The programs organized by the different countries that form part of International Organization New Acropolis (IONA) have brought philosophy closer to many different kinds of audiences using a wide variety of media and an imaginative range of events.
There are forums and discussions aimed at getting people to reflect on the close relationship that exists between philosophy and timeless values. Other centers choose to stage performances of the timeless moments in history, by recreating the dialogues and messages of outstanding philosophers.
Other events link philosophy with the arts, promoting exhibitions and photography competitions to give form in images to the conceptual richness brought to us by the great sages of the world.
International Organization New Acropolis (IONA) has a website dedicated to World Philosophy Day where it features some of the activities that take place every year throughout the world to celebrate this event.
