Philosophy Festival in Greece®
Journey to the birthplace of western philosophy through an innovative educational experience. Discover Athens, Delphi, Messene, and Epidaurus while engaging with philosophical thought through dialogue, theater, and immersive learning.
Our Mission
The mission is to combine the cultural value of a journey to the places where western Philosophy was born with the rediscover, during low-season periods, of areas of historical and archaeological importance, symbols of the Mediterranean culture. Every Spring, students from European countries join a transformative cultural experience through non-formal education in Athens, Delphi, Messene and Epidaurus.
