Reimagining a concept from the Ancient Greece to foster connection and empower individuals and their ideas to make an actual impact.
About this Event

The Modern Agora project aims to establish modern versions the ancient Greek Agoras - social institutions that contributed i.a. to the development of democracy, our current legal systems and philosophical progress while serving as the bedrock for social cohesion 2-3 thousand years ago.

We bring people together for a variety of purposes - from discussing philosophy and initiating local projects to connecting to ones neighbors and building communities. On the one hand, we work on the sense of loneliness and isolation that is experienced so widely these days. Also, in times where many people feel disempowered in their ability to make a difference in the world, we encourage all of us to think about their immediate environment and how to impact it meaningfully.

Some details:

  • We will meet for 3 hours and go through a variety of topics
  • Please feel free to suggest own projects/ideas in the sign up form
  • I will have some light breakfast (Crossaints, fruits etc.) and coffee for you


Looking forward to having you!
Leon
