|main|1.19|person again this year. We opened 4 introductory<br>courses on "Philosophies|||
|activities||of East 8 West" (2 in March and 2 in October) and we were oversubscribed|||
|in relation||for our autumn<br>courses. We taught more than 600 hours ofclasses on|||
|to those||comparative<br>philosophy<br>following<br>our Programme<br>ofStudies.|||
|purposes|||||
|for the||Amon<br>st our talks in the field of<br>hiloso<br>h<br>we would<br>like to highlight||the|
|public<br>benefit,<br>in||following: rViktor Frankl on our Search for Meaning", "Philosophy<br>and<br>Mysticism<br>in Ancient Europe - The Bardic Tradition"<br>and a talk on "The|||
|particular,||Repression ofthe Sublime".|||
|the|||||
|activities,||This year we offered a holistic philosophical<br>training<br>event<br>in Wales (over||4|
|projects or||days), with team building<br>exercises, route finding exercises, cooperative|work||
|services||(cooking, cleaning,<br>living together)<br>and philosophy<br>classes.<br>Itwas a great|||
|identified||success.|||

|---|---|---|---|
|away from London!) and two Self-Defence Classes with a martial<br>art expert|||in|
|the summer.<br>In addition to these events, we also organised<br>celebrations||for||
|'Wesak'<br>in May, an autumn<br>equinox celebration<br>and two Christmas<br>parties||||
|(because our premises<br>would be too small<br>if all attended<br>at once).||||
|This year, we published<br>again 6 digital issues ofour magazine<br>"New||||
|Acropolis —Philosophy<br>and Education<br>for the Future" and we were able|to|||
|attract new writers for our articles. We also celebrated<br>the 50th edition ofour||||
|magazine.||||
|Activities<br>in the field ofVolunteerin:||||
|All the activities<br>in our School of Philosophy<br>(teaching,<br>cleaning<br>and||||
|maintenance<br>ofthe school, advertising,<br>design of leaflets and course notes,||||
|etc.)are done on a voluntary<br>and honorary<br>basis and there are no paid||||
|positions<br>in our charity. Every task is used as a practical exercise and||||
|application<br>of philosophy<br>in action.||||
|This year, we decided not only to support<br>UNESCO's World Philosophy||Day||
|but also its EARTH DAY in April. To celebrate Earth Day, we organised|a|||
|talk on "Viktor Schauberger<br>and the Living Energies ofWater", a traditional||||
|dance around a tree to provide a symbolic<br>and sacred element<br>in honour||of||
|Mother Earth and a litter pick with 17people where we collected around||1||
|ton of rubbish<br>(which was then removed<br>by Hackney Council).||||

|the circumstances||||of its||continuous<br>courses for our members.|
|beneficiaries|||and any wider||||
|benefits to||society||as a||The main benefit to our members<br>and to|
|whole.||||||society as a whole is our offer ofa holistic|
|||||||education<br>for 'head, heart and hands',<br>based|
|||||||on the universal<br>and timeless values ofthe|
|||||||philosophies<br>and cultures<br>throughout<br>history.|
|||||||Regarding<br>measurable<br>outcomes,<br>our|
|||||||achievements<br>are expressed<br>in the fact that|
|||||||we increased<br>our membership,<br>our finances|
|||||||and the attendance<br>at our public events.|
|||||||But the most important<br>outcomes ofour|
|||||||activities are not measurable;<br>they are|
|||||||reflected<br>in a spirit ofactive citizenship<br>that|
|||||||is expressed<br>in actions,<br>in the development|
|||||||ofgreater resilience due to a deeper|
|||||||understanding<br>of ourselves<br>and others, the|
|||||||pursuit<br>ofvirtues such as generosity,|
|||||||perseverance,<br>compassion<br>and a greater|
|||||||ability to make wise choices.|
|||||||Another achievement<br>this year is that we|
|||||||were able to build up our funds for bigger|
|||||||premises.<br>It became very obvious this year|
|||||||that we don't have enough space for our|
|||||||activities and we are actively<br>looking for new|
|||||||premises.|
|||||||We also continued<br>to give grants to|
|||||||members<br>who were unable to pay their|
|||||||subscri<br>tions.|
