World Philosophy Day is celebrated annually on the third Thursday of November. It was established by UNESCO in 2002 to promote philosophical reflection, inquiry, and dialogue globally.
 

To celebrate the importance of philosophy to humanity, both as a method of critical thought and a treasure trove of cultural ideas. In particular, it is highlighted how philosophy develops our capacity to reason and to think through problems in a logical way.

Students became aware of the need for free, critical and responsible philosophical reflection. We celebrated philosophy to humanity as a method of critical thought development.
