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

In this session we will be talking (and thinking!) about talking.

What is it that we are doing when we talk? Is it just making noises with our mouths? Is humming talking? Is it saying words? Do parrots talk? Is it communicating meaning? Is sign language talk? And when we text each other, are we writing or talking? Or are we doing something else? If so, what?!

The Philosophy Foundation is a charity that aims to foster a culture of curiosity and wonder through philosophy. They believe that philosophy is not just a subject, but a way of life that can help people of all ages and backgrounds to think more clearly, creatively, and critically.
