What is a philosophy workshop?
The philosophy workshop is not :
A discussion group
If everyone is content to express themselves, it becomes difficult to dialogue and to have a critical perspective on ideas. We stay in an exchange of opinions.
The facilitator therefore frames the discussion withs specific questions to help participants reason and really enter into dialogue with each other.
A philosophy class
Knowing the thoughts of philosophers is a valuable asset for reflection but it is not enough to learn to think for oneself.
We learn by doing!Each session takes the form of aworkshopand gives rise toa youexercise mpson a thinking skill

We need to practice !
Rather than learning what the philosophers thought, we practice using our reason, developing "thinking skills": constructing a reasoning, arguing, identifying problems etc.
« We only learn to philosophize by exercising and using our own reason. »
Immanuel Kant
We could compare the philosophy workshop to...
A workout where you you train your thinking like a muscle!
A pottery workshop where we use tools to give shape to our thoughts!
As with any activity, it is by dint of regular exercise that we gain in ease.
Knowing how to think is not a question of talent, it is a question of practice !
Philosophy workshops
In the hectic pace of our lives, philosophy workshops are an opportunity to take a break and think.
The aim is to develop our capacity to philosophise in a friendly but rigorous setting.
Through dialogue, we become aware of our way of thinking and seeing the world, but also of our relationship to others and to ourselves.
No prior knowledge is required.

Philosophy workshops
Les ateliers de philosophie sont l’occasion pour les enfants et les adolescents de développer leur capacité à penser de façon ludique.
Il n’y a pas de bonne réponse attendue comme à l’école : c’est à partir de leurs idées et du dialogue qu’elles suscitent qu’ils co-construisent des réponses qui ont du sens.
Ils apprennent à exprimer leur pensée et à écouter celle des autres.
Et surtout ils s’amusent à jouer avec les idées !
