Brilliant weekend in Queenscliff, Victoria at a conference for FAPSA, the Federation of Asia-Pacific Philosophy in Schools Associations. We met with colleagues from this quarter of the globe and ran workshops on the theme of trusting children to work together in smaller groups.

So far my class this year are a bit flat. There's a few that love to contribute and will dominate, but the majority aren't really getting stuck in yet.
Today, I gave them a video from these guys @makethinkingfun and straight away nearly everyone had something to say. Brilliant!
Here’s Tom, Jason and Mark Irwin celebrating the end of a very successful fortnight promoting oracy in South Australia. Celebrations were even more fervent for those supporting (or “barracking”!) for the Brisbane Lions!
Wonderful to be in South Australia working with UniSA and the DfE to promote oracy in schools. Tom and Jason have been working with over 200 teachers over five events. A huge thank you fo Mark Irwin for organising the trip and being such a welcoming host!
One of many happy attendees at the workshops Tom and Jason have been running for Adelaide teachers. Thanks to the South Australia Dept for Education, UniSA and philanthropist and social-anxiety-related speech scholar Mark Irwin for making it happen!
Our first time at Blackheath High Juniors, delivering P4C Philosophy for Children and Oracy INSET to all Junior school staff.
We were busy working with them to create their own resources to use in their very next lessons. Thank you for a lovely day!

Taking a philosophical approach and debating the big questions within our broad, thematic curriculum is just one way in which Weston Green School strives to “Make The Difference.” Today we welcomed The Philosophy Man P4C @makethinkingfun who delivered inspiring workshops.
Lovely afternoon delivering INSET at @DairHouseSchool - thanks for having me and look forward to working with you further!
Fantastic morning training teachers in embedding P4C across the curriculum at St James Prep School in West London. Doubly marvellous to see one of our resources on display in the Year 6 classroom!

Y6-8 were treated to a philosophy day by “The Philosophy Man” where they engaged in some aesthetics, metaphysics, ethics and some good old fashioned debating. An excellent day. Thanks to @makethinkingfun
