3rd International InterΑthenian Conference

«Man and his Creations, a Perpetual Metamorphosis»

5-6-7 November 2024 Athens, Attica

1st Call for Participants

ATHENS calls ATHENS (AcA) organizes the 3rd International InterAthenian Conference entitled “Man and his Creations, a Perpetual Metamorphosis”.

Conceptual approach:

“…The word ‘metamorphosis’ comes from the ancient Greek word ‘metamorphoō,’meaning ‘to change one’s form,’ and in the passive voice, it means ‘to undergo a change’ or ‘a change in form.’

In its general sense it is connected with the concept of the universal evolutionary process where everything changes. The human species has passed the caterpillar stage, it has matured culturally within the cocoon. This cocoon has been broken and man must fly as a free creative entity”.

What is “ATHENS calls ATHENS”

ATHENS calls ATHENS (AcA) is a cultural initiative aiming to create ties and synergies between the cities bearing the name ‘Athens’ on a global scale, as well as between universities and their institutions at a social, cultural, and research level.

With this initiative, AcA intends to contribute to the creation of an Interdisciplinary Network, which will be joined by companies, institutions and organizations that have the same vision.
