The Vision of ESAI EN ROI and Our Pioneering Delphic Calendar In a world defined by speed, fragmentation, and constant stimulation, the question facing new generations is no longer what is possible, but what is good. ESAI EN ROI for more than two years, has focused on cultivating moral awareness, ethical judgment, and inner responsibility among young people, not through dogma or prohibition, but through meaning, reflection,

and lived practice.Our approach is rooted in a simple but powerful conviction: moralism is not an outdated concept—it is a necessary compass. When values are not consciously shaped, they are unconsciously absorbed. When ethics are not taught, they are replaced by habits. And when inner measure is lost, excess becomes the norm.

Why Delphi? Why Now

At the heart of our work stands one of humanity’s most refined ethical legacies: the Delphic Precepts. Recorded by Stobaeus as “the counsels of the Seven Sages”, the 147 Delphic maxims form a complete moral architecture for human life—from childhood to old age, from private conduct to social responsibility, from action to contemplation.

Unlike modern motivational slogans, the Delphic precepts do not flatter the ego. They educate it. They do not promise success; they cultivate measure (μέτρον). They do not impose morality; they awaken conscience (συνείδηση). This is precisely why they are urgently relevant today. A Calendar That Educates, Not Just Organizes The Delphic Moralism Calendar by ESAI EN ROI is not a decorative object. It is a daily ethical companion.

Each month is carefully structured around a coherent moral theme, following the authentic numerical sequence of the Delphic precepts (001–147). The calendar respects the original rhythm of the maxims—daily, bi-daily, or tri-daily—allowing time not only to read, but to internalize each principle. Rather than overwhelming the reader, the calendar guides a gradual ethical journey: - from self-knowledge to self-control, - from justice to compassion, - from friendship to responsibility, - from personal dignity to collective harmony, - from the vigor of youth to the wisdom of age. This structure transforms time itself into a pedagogical tool. The year becomes a moral curriculum.

Building the Kalon Kagathon

Inspired by Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle, our calendar revives the classical ideal of the καλὸς κἀγαθός—the human being who is both good and noble, ethical and active, thoughtful and engaged.

1 Moralism, as we understand it, is not moralizing. It is ethical literacy. It is the capacity to choose wisely, act justly, speak responsibly, and live with dignity. By aligning ancient wisdom with contemporary life, we help young people build an inner framework strong enough to face uncertainty, diversity, and change.

A Tool for Education, Youth Work, and Society

The Delphic Moralism Calendar is designed to function across contexts: - as an educational resource in schools and non-formal learning, - as a reflective tool in youth work and volunteering programs, - as a cultural publication that bridges antiquity with modern civic life, - as a personal practice for anyone seeking ethical clarity. Bilingual, inclusive, and visually open to artistic interpretation, the calendar invites dialogue between generations, cultures, and disciplines.

Our Commitment

At ESAI EN ROI, we do not believe that values can be imposed. But we know they can be cultivated. With this pioneering calendar, we offer young people not rules, but roots; not instructions, but orientation; not answers, but principles that endure. Because the future does not need faster individuals. It needs better humans.
