The Philosophy Club partners with schools and communities to build a culture of critical and creative thinking through collaborative philosophical inquiry.

We run prize-winning enrichment workshop programs for students, with a focus on Years 7–12. Over a series of small-group facilitated sessions, students build vital skills in reasoned dialogue, argument literacy, reflection and metacognition. Students are supported as they collaborate to explore intriguing philosophical questions across a range of thought-provoking contemporary topics. An ever-evolving repertoire of original multimedia stimuli and interactive activities make The Philosophy Club’s workshops a compelling choice for enriching learning across the curriculum.

Our Philosopher-in-Residence program provides a model of school-wide philosophical engagement, teacher support and community involvement, and accelerates participants’ skill development during an intensive period of practice.

We have partnered with a range of secondary and primary schools, as well as with universities and with civic and cultural organisations including The City of Melbourne, Embiggen Books, The Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas, Artplay and Library at the Dock.

We look forward to working with your school or learning community.

We have to live today by what truth we can get today, and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood.”
– William James
