New Acropolis Cultural Organization Presents

The need for social, political, ecological, and spiritual change is evident in our times. In early 2017, New Acropolis Cultural Organization conceived Empowering Real Change, an ongoing series of events to examine the journeys of leading changemakers.

On 15th December 2018, the third event in this series, a full-day conference Empowering Real Change: Leadership for a Better World, brought together distinguished leaders from multiple fields in honour of the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The event spearheaded a global celebration of Gandhi’s iconic leadership by calling upon our affiliate associations comprising over 500 centres across 60 countries, to celebrate his philosophical legacy through cultural activities, conferences, and exhibitions.

Over 175 international events have been organised as a response to this call, with many more being planned worldwide. (Click Here)

    I’m delighted to be with you today, and with New Acropolis India, for the celebration of the 150 years of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth… Our present civilization follows a greed way of civilization. By approaching it with our creative power, we can undo the greed way, and transform it into a civilization based on human values; with empathy, peace and friendship. And that’s the task. I hope that in our discussions and deliberations we come to feel that we can unleash the creative capacity to make things happen.
