The Knowledge Exchange is pleased to announce that we have concluded our final session of Philosophy with Children workshops with our first cohort of 8 youngsters!

Over the course of our camp children read and discussed philosophical elements of 4 picture books, including topics like:

• What is beauty? Does art have to be beautiful or nice looking? Does everyone have to agree about what art is? (accompanied by “Ish” by Peter Reynolds)

• How do you know what you know? Can you think of a reason for everything you believe or know? (accompanied by “Morris the Moose” by B. Wiseman)

• What makes up a community? Can you belong to a community even if you are different from other members in some way? (accompanied by “The Big Orange Splot” by Daniel Pinkwater)

• What does it mean to be or to have a friend? Do our friends have to be similar to us? Can our friendships change who we are? (accompanied by “Peach & Blue” by Sarah S. Kilbourne)

A big thanks, too, to our partner My Imagination Kingdom for providing the venue for these sessions.
