Wonder Ponder: Visual Philosophy for Children
Wonder Ponder: Visual Philosophy for Children, is an innovative interdisciplinary project that uses thought-provoking visuals to help readers aged eight and over develop their own philosophical maps on a range of philosophical issues, fostering fun, critical and independent thinking.
The project includes the publication of a series of six boxes, each of them on a specific philosophical topic, and a website containing free, quality educational support materials to use with the boxes.
The project also includes designing and launching an online magazine that aims to become a philosophy for children site for practitioners but also seeks to reach a broader audience and build an online community for wondering and pondering together.
The project will launch at the end of 2014, with the publication of the first box in two versions –Cruelty Bites in English and Mundo cruel in Spanish- and the opening of the website with support materials.
Wonder Ponder series titles and topics:
- Cruelty Bites (on cruelty)
- I, person (on personal identity and the differences between persons and robots)
- No way! (on possibility and impossibility)
- Freedom in a box (on freedom)
- The real thing (on reality, imagination and dream)
- What’s it all for? (on happiness and the meaning of life)
