ages 8-12
Join guest host and Philosofun creator Rachel Fryirs for an afternoon of thinking games, group activities and discussion centered on philosophy, inquiry and thinking outside of the box!
About Rachel: Rachel Fryirs is a dynamic teacher with an infectious enthusiasm for discussing the “big ideas” that arise in philosophical inquiry. She is an experienced primary educator, having held both management and classroom-teaching positions in the UK and France over the last decade. With an academic background in English Literature, she is interested in the way that careful use of language and skilled questioning allow us to deepen our level of understanding of philosophical concepts, and consequently better understand our relationships to others and the world around us. Rachel believes that children can become great philosophers from an early age if given the right tools of communication and the necessary questioning skills.
