Join us for this year’s edition of The Lyceum Project, a multidisciplinary initiative connecting Philosophy and AI.

Friday, June 20, 2025, at the Athens Conservatoire (Rigillis & Vasileos Georgiou B’ 17-19)

This year’s gathering invites leading thinkers from academia, practitioners, policy makers, artists, and citizens to reflect on a vital question:

How can we empower children to flourish in the age of AI?

In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and automation, we will explore how children play, learn, and communicate, and how wisdom, care, and values can guide innovation that serves future generations.
