Philosophy for Children (P4C) improves teaching and learning for the lasting benefit of individuals, schools, colleges and communities, building higher order thinking, questioning, speaking and listening skills.
P4C is a powerful methodology for developing thinking skills and exploring challenging subject matter. It also improves self-esteem, self-confidence and emotional literacy and crates a more collaborative learning environment, empowering children and young people to take control of their own learning.
