With the slogan “We exchange books – we exchange ideas”, volunteers and friends of New Acropolis Cordoba, got together every Tuesday during the month of February at the New Acropolis center and in the Park de las Tejas of the city, to share books, reflections and stories! A lovely summer activity that was intended to inspire the culture of reading and the generosity of sharing!

New Acropolis Cordoba organized a nine-hour  intensive workshop titled ‘Philosophy and Art’.
Themes discussed included beauty, ethics, aesthetics, symbolism and philosophy in Greek, Roman, Egyptian and American cultures. The workshop was based on sample images of artistic works pertaining to these civilizations, allowing a trip through space and time from the hand of philosophy and art.

One of the greatest desires which brings humanity together is wanting to improve our world, and this theme assembled   youths and adults at the talk titled “Philosophy for the future: Keys to a better world”, presented in Balvanera, Buenos Aires, on the occasion of World Philosophy Day.

The presentation was tackled from the perspectives of three great philosophers: Plato, Marcus Aurelius, and Confucius. In the teachings of Marcus Aurelius participants discovered the importance of a vision of Unity.
Through Confucius, we reflected on the importance of ethics for individual behavior. We ended with Plato, who through the myth of the cave, showed us the need for each individual to bring out the best that he has inside and help others out of this allegorical cave.

The talk gave way to a discussion whereby attendees shared some everyday problems they struggle with, and philosophical reflections.

New Acropolis Cordoba celebrated World Philosophy Day in the Square of Philosophers, located at the National University of the city. Friends and volunteers participated in a fun philosophical evening, engaging passers-by with interactive games.

A seminar was held at the Balvanera Center in Buenos Aires, presented by Luis Soto about pre-Columbian America, highlighting the rich and intriguing cultures that inhabited this area, their origins, myths, customs, and their vision of man and the universe.
