Big Thinkers! (ages 8-11)

Big Thinkers! school enrichment sessions are discussion based and each week we explore a BIG philosophical question together through stories, games and activities—questions like ‘is the mind separate from the body?’; ‘what is the best way to make decisions?’; ‘what does it mean to be a good thinker?’, and ‘is it always right to tell the truth?’

Big Thinkers sessions help pupils to develop their ability to think critically, creatively, and in collaboration with others, building confidence in exploring ideas and arguments together, and expressing opinions.

Most importantly, sessions are fun! Children are natural philosophers, inclined to wonder about big questions, and Big Thinkers! offers the perfect environment to encourage and nurture this ability.

Those who attend Big Thinkers! are eligible to work towards the Junior Young Philosophers Training awards (bronze, silver and gold awards) -- see the YPT section of the website for more details.

Big Thinkers! enrichment runs in half-termly blocks of sessions, with both in-school sessions and online groups. E-mail info@thethinkerhub.com for booking enquiries.
