Philosophy before University: Innovative Teaching Practices Across Canada
June 5th, 2018 • 14h00 17h30
UQAM, Pavillon Sherbrooke (métro Place-des-Arts), SH-3420.
Symposium at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Philosophical Association
Abstract
Across Canada, the place of philosophy in education outside universities varies greatly. In Quebec, philosophy is a compulsory subject at CEGEP since 1967. In Ontario, philosophy is offered as elective to a great number of students at grades 11 and 12 since the early 2000s. In all provinces and territories, local initiatives are developed for children and teenagers. For instance, a number of projects have adopted and adapted Lipman-style Philosophy for Children.
This symposium brings together researchers and educators who contribute to the vigor of philosophy in non-university education. The objective of the symposium is to showcase and discuss innovative practices, and to tighten the network of philosophical innovators.
