Philosophy for Children (P4C)
Philosophy for Children(P4C) is our flagship module. A group of children, above 6 years of age, are covered under this programme. This module is conducted in a school, for an hour per week.
In this process, a story / activity / poem is used as a stimulus. The facilitator then involves the group, by asking open questions based on the story. The ground rules are established for a respectful dialogue.
In the discussion children start thinking and relating ideas and concepts to their own life situations. The deeper thinking opens pandora’s box. They start observing the surrounding environment with inquisitiveness, keeping in mind the ‘thought for the week’ arrived at, in the session. They enjoy this homework and bring their own solutions and few doubts, to the next session. The spiral goes deeper with each session touching different aspects of their life.
Children become self-aware about their thoughts, actions, learn to manage their emotions and start questioning the beliefs in every respect. This journey makes them capable of taking decisions in a thoughtful way. They, now will not follow others blindly and may question redundant norms.
