Philosophy
We propose the search for Wisdom as a way of living which gives meaning to our existence
Culture
The practice of human values is the basis for a model of active and participative culture, which brings out the qualities of each person
Volunteering
Volunteering is acting in our community to have a meaningful and positive impact in the world around us
The Philosophy for Living course offers a series of theoretical and practical classes to progress in self-knowledge.
This allows us to bring the timeless values of philosophy to bear in the face of our daily circumstances as a means of awakening individual authenticity and developing a better way of living together.

The Acropolis Magazine
In ancient Athens the Acropolis, literally meaning the High City, was the place which supported the highest ideals of the people.
The Acropolis magazine is inspired by this concept and aims to share eclectic content, combining all the major endeavours of philosophy, art, science, education and culture.
