About the D.A. Project
Who we are & What we do
We are a group of professionals, from different fields, who decided to join forces and create a non-profit cultural foundation after the remarkable success of the Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy immersive reading cycle, held in Moscow by then Consul General of Italy, Francesco Forte. The Foundation is committed to spreading a general knowledge of European Philosophy from Ancient Greece to nowadays and revealing the many areas and fields of knowledge still very intertwined with open, still unsolved, philosophical issues.
The mission we hold at heart is simple…
Education.
We aim to advance interest and curiosity for Philosophy within wider public through a variety of engaging and easy-to-follow publications, conferences, events, and more;
In a second, more ambitious step, we strive towards fostering the teaching of mathematics, sciences and philosophy to physically impaired children with strong skills belonging to families with low income through the creation of a network of specialized educational centers.
