Introducing our Association
The "ASSOCIATION PHILOTECHNIQUE »
What does « philotechnique » mean?
It is an old world, coming from the greek words « Philo » and « Technie », meaning « love of the arts », « taste for the arts or for elegance ».
Then the adjective « philotechnique » was connected with the words « Association » and « Society ».
The purpose of a Philotechnique Association or a Philotechnique Society is to encourage, to promote, arts and sciences ».
In 1848, The Association Philotechnique was organized under the Polytechnic Association (from the Polytechnic School). It first gave 3 kinds of teaching : general, technical and arts.
Who are we today?
The Association Philotechnique of Boulogne-Billancourt is a training centre for adults, who would like to study or improve their languages, their computer skills, painting or even design and create their own clothes.
