About this Event
WARNING! This course will prove that the person starting the course is a completely different person to the person at the end of the day!
During the Masterclass you will:
- Learn to think like a philosopher
- Discuss concepts from different viewpoints
- Learn to agree, disagree, respond, question, listen and change your mind.
This Masterclass is filled with activities that will develop your skills as a creative thinker and public speaker, showing you how to present your ideas to others in a way that fascinates and engages your audience. The actual word 'Philosophy' means 'a love of wisdom' and this is what we will ensure that you leave with plenty of. There is nothing more wonderful than discussing things philosophically- it is unique and fun as you can never be wrong. In fact, in Philosophy and in this course, no one knows the answers, especially Marcelo...
We will use the book 'Philosophy Files' to read fascinating stories and discuss things like:
Can you jump into the same river twice?
Is it ever right to do something wrong?
Does knowing mean we are not learning?
Is it possible to see things that don't exist?
Please note that we require a certain number of young people to sign up in order for this Masterclass to go ahead. Please register your interest by getting a ticket from eventbrite, we will then be in touch to discuss the next steps including payment or grant applications.
