The Victorian Association for Philosophy in Schools is proud to host our 2023 conference, focussed on the theme of:
Educating for Capabilities: Critical & Creative Thinking, Ethical, Intercultural, Personal, & Social.

Over two days, local, national, and international experts in Philosophy in Schools and beyond will showcase their work, enabling teachers to gain practical and ready-to-use strategies to implement in their classroom immediately. The event will be held in the Arts West building at the University of Melbourne, Parkville.

We are proud to Megan Laverty as our keynote speaker. Megan is recognised internationally for her varied and esteemed work promoting philosophical inquiry for students within academic, political, and educational environments.
