We seek a Culture that inspires!
At New Acropolis we recognize the need to preserve and develop, through an integrated approach, art, science, mysticism and politics, as fundamental aspects that constitute a civilization. Through a wide variety of cultural activities, we are building the paths of development of these four aspects, with the common denominator of Philosophy.
Our vision of Culture
Culture broadens our understanding of life and the world and brings us closer to people, through a spirit of respect, solidarity and understanding. The purpose is to achieve ethical, moral and permanent values that reinforce human dignity and the protection of their most basic rights of life and coexistence.
At New Acropolis, we are dedicated to promoting dialogue through every means available to us, based on the vision that dialogue is essential in our society, especially as we contend with the challenges of isolation and a pervasive sense of emptiness.
Culture is expansive and includes various disciplines: History, Anthropology, Physics, Arts, Sports, and many others… through these disciplines, we aim to explain the events and uncertainties of our times.
International Culture Programme
Culture is a transformation. Culture is a tool for the development and evolution of human beings, both individually and collectively.
International Programme for the Promotion of Music
Its objectives are:
- To promote music as a means of education and access to philosophy
- To provide creative experiences for young people
Some of the projects carried out include:
- Instrumental music competitions for primary and secondary school students
- Choir competitions for children and young people
- Support for the Delia Steinberg International Piano Competition
- Programmes of musical activities, especially for young people: concerts, jam sessions, competitions
- Participation in the International Music Day (October 1)
Publications
The universal nature of the IONA can be seen from the list of its publications in over 20 different languages: books, magazines and websites provide widespread access to the writings of outstanding thinkers of today and all times. The member organizations of different countries adapt their editorial choices to the interests of their local readership. One noteworthy project has been the translation of universal works into local languages, such as a compilation of the writings of the Stoic philosophers published by New Acropolis Croatia in Zagreb, or the translation into Chinese of the Hindu classic “Bhagavad Gita” by members of New Acropolis.
The presence of New Acropolis at many book fairs around the world demonstrates the importance we give to this educational task.
