PLUARTIS SYMPOSIUM 2026: PHILOSOPHY ARENA
Architecture of the Soul | Building the Inner Citadel
20-22 August 2026 | Pula, Istria, Croatia
Plato & Marcus Aurelius
Keynote: Professor Angie Hobbs
Afternoon debate theme: “The Digital Soul: Can AI inhabit the Citadel?”
“Hobbs serves as our brilliant and critical guide: she does not merely assert that Plato helps us to think about an issue, but gives us the material to do this thinking for ourselves.”
By Emma Greensmith, The Times Literary Supplement (April 17, 2026)

From First Word to Final Cut
Digital Storytelling: An English Workshop Series in Brussels
Pluartis is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge across generations. We believe that the capacity for rigorous thought begins early; our youth programmes in digital storytelling are designed to transform abstract imagination into structured communication. By teaching children to navigate the journey from the ‘First Word’ to the ‘Final Cut,’ we are cultivating the next generation of critical thinkers and cultural contributors.
