Philosophical Encounters of Monaco present PhiloMonaco - Week 7 to 12 June 2022
From Tuesday 7 to Sunday 12 June 2022, the Philosophical Encounters of Monaco will be holding PhiloMonaco Week, featuring numerous speakers including philosophers, researchers, journalists, psychiatrists and psychologists, writers, teachers, healthcare workers, and more, who will debate and discuss with audiences the themes of Ecology, Education, Care, Women and the Joy of Philosophising.
Lectures, dialogues, round tables, classes and workshops will be held in a variety of locations around the Principality, notably at the Théâtre Princesse Grace which will, for these few days, be turned into a “House of Philosophy”.
To create the closest possible connection with the public, the Philosophical Encounters will be at La Condamine Market between 9 am and 10.30 am from Tuesday to Friday. Following an interview lasting several minutes between the day’s guests and a Monaco Info journalist, the audience will be able to ask questions and engage in a free debate.
PhiloMonaco Week will feature a number of highlights: philosophical workshops in school classrooms, an evening prize ceremony to present the Philosophical Encounters Prize, Honourable Mention and Lycée Student Award, lectures and conversations at the Crystal Bar and Pavyllon Monte-Carlo restaurant in the Hotel Hermitage, at the Café de la Rotonde in the Casino Atrium, at the Thermes Marins de Monte-Carlo, at the Salle Garnier, and in the Mediterranean Garden of the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort.
It is also worth noting that at the Théâtre Princesse Grace, the Librairie Masséna bookshop will have a presence in the lobby and there will be a restaurant space, Les Grandes Carrioles (a culinary and artistic project), on the esplanade, along with the PhiloBox for everyone’s questions and thoughts.
