Philosophy has been the cornerstone of Western living. To understand how philosophy works will help a child in giving them skills to navigate life. This is an 5-day course which will explore philosophy through, games, videos, competition, and introduce hard to grasp concepts through fun interactive means. Discussing philosophy with children is a great way to improve their verbal skills. They learn to listen carefully to other students, to formulate their own opinions in a clear manner, and even to defend their opinions against objections from their peers. Exploring philosophy builds a real sense of community in the classroom and, at the same time, it aids in the individual intellectual development of your students.
