OUR MISSION:

To encourage collaboration and cooperation amongst diverse groups and individuals in an effort to make a positive change in the world today,
To offer an eclectic approach to better understand ourselves and the world around us by applying timeless and universal principles for effective action today.
To promote the discovery of the very best within ourselves and to nurture it in others.

Since the dawn of time, philosophy has played a major role in the development of cities, culture, and leadership. The new challenges of our times call for the return of this source of timeless wisdom, as a driving force in shaping a new and better futre enlightened by humane values. For 50 years, New Acropolis has worked to revive philosophy in the classical tradition, hence contributing to harmonize cultural differences and offering a foundation for active and global peace. Today, hundreds of branches in over 45 countries around the world gather citizen-philosophers passionate about the pursuit of human solidarity.
