Wonderful to plan another Philosofun on the important theme of CLIMATE. A great group of participants mostly from England and also Northern Ireland, Quebec and Saudi Arabia. Teachers, university lecturers and organisations joined us for an hour and a bit of powerful and fun thinking together.

Been putting the final touches for the upcoming #Philosofun CPD on the cross curricular theme of CLIMATE. Think this may well be one of my favourites themes yet to plan. Expand your understanding of the concept of climate in a playful way. Do join us. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/philosofun...

What a wonderful podcast to listen to at the end of a busy week! Loved hearing from CDEC director Laura that the Virtual Voices in RE (VVRE) was a particular highlight recently. Looking forward to the next podcast already!
We're live! The first episode of our podcast has landed!

Some things are worth the distance and train delays to hear and feel in-person. Thanks Darren for an inspiring and needed contribution to the @saperep4c.bsky.social conference 2024.
Yesterday I gave a keynote at the @saperep4c.bsky.social annual conference, exploring my 28 year involvement with Philosophy for Children and my work on P4C and racism.

Back in Venice again.. staying with my translator friend. Lots of discussions about my research on untranslatable words. But this photo caught my eye today - Your eye as art. Such rich philosophical potential: What makes art? I was extremely tempted to purchase my own eye as art. #p4c
