17th "Days on Philosophy and Volunteerism" in South America, organized by NA Chincha (Peru) with the help of close to 400 volunteers from nine countries.New Acropolis brings together under an International Organization (I.O.N.A.), with its headquarters in Brussels, the associations of the different countries which adhere to its Founding Charter and its principles of action. New Acropolis is an International Non-profit Association recognized as an international association by Royal Decree of 12 February 1990, No. 3/12-941/S, under Law 25/10/19 of the Kingdom of Belgium. It is registered in the International Register of Associations (see Moniteur No. 48 of 9 March 1990, page 4489).
Its associative structure guarantees respect for the diversity, autonomy and initiative of each of its member associations.
Its operational structure enables it to act independently of all political, religious or financial interests. Each member association is liable to the authorities of its own country and abides by the international regulations governing associations.
To mark World Philosophy Day, NA Israel organizes a roundtable on philosophy as a journey entitled "The Greatest of All Journeys."According to its Constitution, the Governing Board of the International Association is made up of a representative of each of the member Associations. The members of the International Executive Council, which is responsible for coordinating and making the necessary contacts to implement the resolutions passed at each annual meeting of the Assembly, are elected from the most qualified members of the Governing Board.
From 1992 to 2020, the presidency of the International Organization was held by Delia Steinberg Guzmán. Since 2020 the president is Carlos Adelantado Puchal.
The organization is currently present in over 50 countries.
Our finances
New Acropolis operates a decentralized financial system, with regular audits. Its income and financial sustainability are based on four pillars:
- Training courses and sales of cultural products made at our centers.
- All members pay a monthly subscription, which entitles them to take part in all the association’s activities and have access to I.O.N.A.’s international network of cultural centers.
- The support of volunteers, together with a very small number of efficient administrative staff.
- Support and sponsorship from private companies and other institutions.
