Schools and Colleges

We want to share our knowledge of, and passion for, Philosophy as widely as we possibly can, through our major collaborations in the community and our schools programme.

We are developing a range of resources and events designed to support teachers and students of Philosophy in the region’s schools.

In 2012 we launched an optional internship or volunteering module, enabling students to take their philosophical skills out into Liverpool.

Several are teaching Philosophy at local schools, gaining valuable work experience and enthusing the next generation.

Useful resources for secondary school teachers are provided by SAPERE, the Society for Advancing Philosophical Enquiry and Reflection in Education, and by the Higher Education Academy’s Subject Centre for Philosophical and Religious Studies.

The British Philosophical Association provides an excellent web-based resource on its website.
