Klub der kleinen Philosoph:innen

In the organizer's words:

Children think countless thoughts about things and experiences and ask endless questions because they want to understand the world and their own self.

"What is time?" / "Why am I ME and no one else?" / "Why do we think?"

This is where philosophizing with children comes in: Participants meet once a month and are guided by an experienced philosopher, Dietlinde Schmalfuß-Plicht, to get into conversation with each other. Together and in an age-appropriate way, the small and big questions of life are asked, interests and wishes are formulated and questioned.

In the little philosophers' club, children learn to think freely, form their own opinions and test them. Language skills, empathy and an independent, critical and creative way of thinking are encouraged. It is about treating others with respect and strengthening their personality and self-confidence - and of course the joy of thinking - the "love of wisdom", which is what philosophizing really means.

Suitable for children aged 9-11.
