Use your mind to think about what’s in your mind by taking part in a philosophy session with educational charity The Philosophy Foundation.

  • Session 1 (ages 5-7): 10.30am – 11.30am
  • Session 2 (ages 8-10): 11.45am – 12.45am

Is this session we will venture to question what we might think bravery is.

What is bravery? Can it ever be brave to run away? Can it ever be cowardly to go towards danger? Can you be scared and brave at the same time? Can you be brave without feeling scared?

We will not retreat from thinking about this together in our philosophy groups, which brings me to the question: can you be brave just with how you think? Or by engaging in thinking at all?
