Thoughtful courses empower educators to practise Philosophy for Children and Communities (P4C) with confidence. Our flexible professional learning pathway supports participants from their first philosophical enquiry to sustained advanced practice.
Courses
In the safe hands of one of our expert Thoughtful Trainers, you’ll learn through an engaging mix of immersion, discussion and practical application.
Participants who progress through our Begin, Develop, and Advance P4C courses, experience, theorise, plan, facilitate, evaluate, and apply philosophical enquiry through live in-person or online sessions that model enquiry and build a community. Those on Extend P4C courses explore P4C within specific subjects and settings, while Innovate P4C courses help participants examine how P4C can be combined with other powerful pedagogies. Embed P4C (in partnership with The Philosophy Man) helps schools identify philosophy across all areas of their curriculum and Lead P4C (in partnership with DialogueWorks) supports those responsible for embedding P4C in their school or setting.
Some begin the P4C pathway with a stand-alone Experience P4C module and we regularly offer the free Consider P4C taster class, for those at the very start of their journey.
