New Acropolis came into being to give a new opportunity to philosophy to come to life again; philosophy in the sense of the eternal quest for knowledge, a quest for the root causes of things, a search for answers to those questions which we human beings are constantly asking ourselves.
Delia Steinberg
Principles
To promote an ideal of universal fraternity, based on respect for human dignity, beyond racial, sexual, cultural, religious, social and other differences.
To encourage love for wisdom, which, through the comparative study of philosophies, religions, sciences and arts, promotes the knowledge of the universe, nature and the human being.
To develop the best of our human potential, by promoting our full realization as individuals and our integration in nature and society.

I.O.N.A. manages its resources through a decentralized system which respects the autonomy of its affiliated associations and is based on each association’s individual capacity, on shared values and specific actions.
Each association is legally and financially autonomous. This management model supports a highly functional international structure operating within a small budget. It is supported by the local associations according to their individual means.
Its sources of funding are: subscriptions, events, and private and public contributions.
In each of the countries in which it is established, I.O.N.A. promotes the local projects which it sees as a priority in order to support youth, education or the environment. At the same time, working on these projects helps the volunteers to develop their own potential.
I.O.N.A. also enters into agreements with like-minded institutions on an ad hoc basis for the purpose of specific projects.
