During this face-to-face advanced course, our P4C teacher educators will help teachers to consolidate and extend their skills in using questioning to promote deeper knowledge and understanding, tracking classroom discussion, identifying rich concepts, and creating conceptual activities.

Philosophical foci will be metaphysics and epistemology.

Participants who complete all three Advanced Practice courses and associated tasks will earn a Federation of Asia-Pacific Philosophy in Schools Associations (FAPSA) Advanced Practice Certificate.


The Centre for Critical Thinking and Ethics and the Association for Philosophy in Schools NSW are part of a global network that advocates for children to engage in philosophical inquiry. The Centre is an official partner of the UNESCO Chair on the Practice of Philosophy with Children, based at the Université de Nantes in France. This workshop is endorsed by the Chair.
