As every year, as part of World Philosophy Day, New Acropolis Belgium organised a “filoweek”. This is a week dedicated to practical philosophy. This year, the activities were organised in collaboration with two other projects on the theme “Towards unity through diversity”: the Harmony taekwondo school and the Openflow business group.

It was an opportunity for New Acropolis Brussels to launch its new format of philosophical interview programmes.

The first focused on the intersection between philosophy and sport. The two guests, Joëlle Tieterickx (taekwondo master, athlete and coach) and Jonathan Guevorts (philosopher and calisthenics practitioner), drew parallels between their practice and their mental discipline, which could easily be understood as a practical philosophy.

The second, the chivalrous path. The two guests of the evening: Sylvain Cigna, philosopher and director of New Acropolis Belgium, and Harlod Gueibe, philosopher, engineer and manager, spoke about their way of seeing and, above all, practising the chivalrous path in everyday life.

Sylvain Cigna was then invited to Namur to speak to the Openflow business cooperative on the topic of “The philosopher entrepreneur”.

A very rich and profound week that brought together seekers of wisdom from diverse backgrounds, both in the audience and on stage.

These events will be broadcast very soon on the YouTube channel of New Acropolis Belgium.
