Description

A philosophical immersion in the heart of Greek Antiquity

To walk in Plato’s footsteps in Athens is to enter the world of one of the greatest thinkers in Western history. This experience offers a lively, accessible approach to ancient philosophy, right on the spot where it was born. In this way, reflection takes shape in space, between heritage, dialogue and transmission.

From the outset, the workshop invites participants to discover Platonic thought through guided exchanges, with no academic prerequisites. Gradually, philosophical concepts are linked to contemporary issues, making the experience concrete, stimulating and profoundly human.

Lively philosophy and interactive dialogue

Throughout the experience, the participant becomes an actor. Discussions are based on Plato’s major themes: knowledge, justice, truth and self-awareness. In this way, everyone can express themselves, reflect and confront their ideas in a friendly environment.

What’s more, the workshop encourages listening and exchange, in the very spirit of the Academy founded by Plato. This method makes philosophy accessible, far from a fixed theoretical discourse.

Discovering the site of the first Academy

The experience includes a visit to the historic site of Plato’s first Academy. This emblematic site provides an insight into the intellectual context of the time and the importance of this space in the history of Western thought.

In addition, a visit to the Academy’s digital museum enriches understanding through immersive, educational media. In this way, past and present interact naturally.

A cultural and introspective experience

Beyond historical discovery, this immersion encourages the development of critical thinking and personal awareness. Each participant leaves with keys to reflection that can be applied to everyday life.

As a result, this experience is as much for the curious as for culture buffs, eager to experience Athens differently, through thought and meaning.
