Philosophy for Children

Facilitating philosophical and critical thinking and discussion

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 (P4C) gives teachers the opportunity to use Oxfam's work as a stimulus for creative, pupil led discussion.
