The Scientific Association EN held its third annual educational symposium at the Aristotle School on Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30.*
The symposium began on Saturday in the beautiful courtyard of the Aristotle School with a series of exercises entitled “The Unity of Mind & Body through Exercise” under the guidance of Ms. Eugenia Noidou, a Physical Education teacher. Through a process of feedback, the participants had to match each exercise with a concept (e.g., competition, respect, etc.), thus giving a different perspective on physical activity and the interaction of the participants in pairs.
The participants then moved to the auditorium of the Aristotle School, where the keynote speaker, Dr. Nikolaos Divinis, an aerospace engineer, educator and founder of the Ensyntropy organization, took the floor. The 3rd Symposium focused on the saying from the Gospel of John “In the beginning was the Word”. In this context and in the spirit of interpretation and deepening, Dr. Divinis analyzed the concepts “In”, “beginning” and “word” with the help of the ancient Greek language and Christian education and connected them with answers to fundamental questions that concern modern man through interactive discussions, games and puzzles.
On Sunday morning, the symposium was started by Ms. Vaya Vassila, a civil engineer and holistic movement educator, with “Breath as a Means of Searching”. The participants had the opportunity to connect deeper and more consciously with their bodies and their breath through a series of relaxing and beneficial exercises for the body, enjoying Ms. Vassila’s long experience in yoga and alternative therapies.
A special note was given by Dr. Med Katharina Dohms, a neurosurgeon, with the speech “Medicine – The Great Unknown”. Dr. Dohms shared her experiences and personal quests, asking pertinent questions about the modern approach and the human-centered model in the field of medicine. In this context and under the guidance of Mr. Divinis, the participants took part in a debate on bioethics in medicine and presented their arguments to a committee divided into groups, the result of which was the extremely constructive exchange of views and perspectives on this very topical issue.
The symposium concluded with the epilogue by Dr. Divinis, in which he once again stressed the urgent need for someone to “be” and not to seem to be, having as a principle the connection of theory with practice and as a reason his personal analogy with the Principle.
