The Philosophy Club: Being good
The Philosophy Club shares the passion, creative freedom and exchange of ideas at the heart of philosophy with children. This creates a space where kids can immerse themselves in big questions and play with a universe of ideas together.
We’ll invite children to swim around in the murky question of what is it to be good. Why should we be good, if no one’s watching?
And what does it mean to make your own decisions and choices? Are there forces that control us – and can we resist them?
We’ll tackle these questions and more, through story, play and discussion.
This program, developed by philosopher Michelle Sowey and educator David Urbinder, is a wonderful opportunity for kids aged 8–11 to stretch their minds and play with ideas.
Hosted by Michelle Sowey.

Also, kids plus books and writing equals fun. We’re delighted to be presenting a new series of events for the younger reader in your life: Wheeler Kids. Roll up and enjoy!
