2025 Meeting of Minds

Meeting of Minds - at the Critical Thinking Quarters, Newington College, Stanmore

This annual event, coorganised by the Centre for Critical Thinking and Ethics and the Association for Philosophy in Schools NSW, is an opportunity for like-minded Year 7-8 students from schools across NSW to get together for a day of collaborative inquiry. Each year the day is organised around a central concept. In 2025, the concepts will be Embodied Knowledge and Identity. Students will participate in critical and creative small group conceptual activities and community of inquiry discussions, led by FAPSA-trained facilitators.

This is an annual event, open to all and free of charge to member schools of the Association of Philosophy in Schools NSW. (Contact the Association for your discount code.)

Please note: 

• Organising teachers will assist throughout the day to run conceptual activities with mixed groups.

• This event is catered for teachers only; students must self-cater.
