What do we teach?

P4C is not a lecture-style 'class'. Students and teachers rather sit together (usually in a circle) and, after establishing an intellectually-safe learning environment, discuss simple yet thought-provoking philosophical topics, many of which the children themselves come up with.  The P4C 'teachers' help facilitate and participate in these discussions in a way that encourages creative thinking and logical skill-building. (See our toolkit for some helpful ways we do this). Below are some example questions and topics we've discussed in the past.
