Event description

Small group, stand alone workshop!

Engaging students in Philosophical Inquiry (PI) helps build collaborative, flexible, independent thinkers with the capacity to innovate and solve problems. These skills will equip them to live and work successfully and more confidently with others. As life's big questions are explored, respect and reason are developed and practised. By pondering prevailing beliefs, exploring possible alternatives and giving and accepting reasons, students learn to be reflective, sensitive to meaning, divergent and reasonable. 

Content

This small group, stand alone short course aims to consolidate and extend the learnings from the Introductory Course, and enhance teachers' ability to effectively implement PI in their classroom.
