The workshop will focus Philosophy for Children's theoretical and practical aspects. Theoretical issues to be explored include: the community of inquiry and the cultivation of identity and personhood; conceptual and empirical work on the link between thinking and talking; the use of Enabling Identity in a community of inquiry; the challenges of moral relativism and absolutism in an increasingly globalized and cosmopolitan world; and the relationship of philosophy to other disciplines and school subjects. Practical sessions will include reflective use of both the original P4C curriculum and the PEACE curriculum focusing on cosmopolitan engagement and intercultural dialogue, introducing new materials for teachers and students; steps in building a community of inquiry; the use of “powerful” questioning to promote “powerful” thinking and dialogue; philosophical perspectives on teaching reasoning and ethics (values education); and assessing the quality of thinking and reasoning and how to become a dialogical teacher and the workshop participants will have an opportunity to plan and facilitate a “community of philosophical inquiry” in a supportive environment, mentored by experienced P4C practitioners. Prior knowledge of, or experience with P4C is not required.
