Workshops

Philosophy for Children, or philosophical enquiry, is a methodology that can be used in any classroom to develop students’ thinking, speaking and listening. It is especially suited to the curriculum dimensions of global citizenship and sustainable development, identity and cultural diversity, creativity and critical thinking.

We have a number of different days and games used to highlight the Global Dimension including; Refugee simulations in the outdoors, Enrichment Days and UN Summit Simulations exploring the Millennium Development Goals for Citizenship KS2, 3 and 4, Fairtrade simulation games and interactive exhibition on the journey of coffee from producer to consumer.

Our forum theatre practitioner uses Theatre of the Oppressed techniques to explore issues of identity, diversity and community cohesion with primary and secondary pupils.

Persona Dolls are engaging and powerful tools, used to explore, uncover and confront bias with young children. They promote; speaking and listening skills, community cohesion and citizenship, appreciation of diversity, anti-discriminatory practice, equal opportunities.
