Facilitating philosophical and critical thinking and discussion.
Oxfam have collaborated with SAPERE, the Society for Advancing Philosophical Enquiry and Reflection in Education, leading specialists in Philosophy for Children (P4C). Together we have formed a brief guide to using P4C in the classroom.
We want children to explore their thoughts and ideas about issues connected to Oxfam’s work. We want children themselves to generate discussions about poverty and suffering and become critical thinkers about the development process. Philosophy for children gives teachers the opportunity to use Oxfam’s work as a stimulus for creative, pupil led discussion.
You can use our guide (below) to facilitate critical discussion after learning about our work.
