Step into the shoes of a student of Plato through a productive and joyful philosophical quest, featuring dialogues and a debate.
Join this immersive philosophy workshop in Athens, held at the legendary Plato’s Academy Park—the birthplace of the world’s first Academy. Designed for adults and teens (14+), this 2-hour experiential journey begins with a brief visit to the local Plato Digital Museum*, followed by a unique philosophical warm-up where you’ll read and interpret ancient Greek texts.
Stroll through the historic park to the ancient Gymnasium ruins, where your philosophy instructor sets the scene with a timeline of Greek philosophical heritage, connecting Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.
Then, dive into a dynamic discussion of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” using the Socratic method, and wrap up with a lively role-play debate using a real replica of an ancient water-timer.
This is not just a tour—it’s a hands-on, mind-opening experience in the heart of ancient Athens that blends education, culture, and fun.
Note: Plato’s Digital Museum is open Tuesday to Friday, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. On other days, we replace the brief museum visit with an engaging discussion that covers the same key insights.
Participation cost: From €12 to €65 per person, depending on the group size and chosen language. Private group bookings available upon request.
Option to add one hour of Aristotle’s Philosophy featuring a thought-provoking virtue-choice game!
