We aim to help children, teenagers and adults to learn, live and work better through dialogue the conversational process that involves careful listening, questioning and thinking. Philosophy for children. In education, good dialogue can awaken intellectual excitement and improve performance in all subject areas. Dialogue brings depth and meaning to learning.
Good dialogue can help people to build better relationships and to reflect on their own beliefs.
Classroom philosophy improves the quality of thinking We draw on philosophy with its emphasis on careful thinking and openness to ideas to enrich the experience of classroom dialogue. Any discussion about morality , citizenship , values , actions , and concepts such as friendship , beauty or freedom will be poorer without a philosophical dimension. We show teachers how to introduce philosophical thinking into their lessons. To find out more about philosophical thinking, read the dialogue called The child and the philosopher on our website. We publish unique resources for schools and run a wide variety of courses and projects for developing dialogue and philosophical enquiry.
