Contribute
Play a part in the p4c.com
Why contribute? The driving force behind p4c.com is the concept of bringing people together who value p4c and want to share their ideas and resources.
We believe that the time you put in to creating useful resources and trying them out should be rewarded. We therefore offer royalty payments for your work, which may also benefit from the input of our editors and from their linking of it to other resources on the p4c.com website. Most importantly you will get the satisfaction of knowing that someone, somewhere does not have to spend hours repeating the work you have already done -- even if they could.
Becoming part of our team of contributors is easy - simply drop us a mail and we'll take it from there. There is only one condition: the work must be your own. CONTACT: Steve Williams. We're looking forward to hearing from you.
MORE INFORMATION
P4C.COM LIMITED is a UK-based not-for-profit cooperative, providing online resources and support for philosophical dialogue with children and teenagers.
Despite the growing popularity of philosophy for and with children and the tremendous creativity of teachers and others working in this field, many schools and teachers worldwide practise P4C in isolated pockets. Excellent resources and examples of good practice fail to reach the widest audience of P4Cers who would find them useful, and conferences only provide short-term opportunities to share, question and discuss.
P4C.COM is a subscription-based website aiming to reduce isolation and increase collaboration. Authors and organisations allowing us to use their materials on the website receive a share of the subscription income. We do not ask for exclusive use or ownership of copyright. Contributors may use their work anywhere else they like. In fact, they may already have made the work available on their own websites or published it themselves.
Accepted contributions are awarded points, and income is distributed to each contributing individual or organisation every six months according to their share of the overall total of points. We can pay international contributors and organisations as well as ones from the UK.
On-going contributors (organisations and individuals) are eligible to become members of the co-operative if they so wish. Members can share in decision-making and enjoy other benefits such as free conferences and seminars.
Any income not used for payment of authors is used for the maintenance and improvement of the website, to pay for editing and administrative services and to contribute funds to worthwhile projects in Philosophy for and with children around the world. NONE is taken as an un-earned share of profits.
We would like P4C.COM to become a site where people go to find a wide range of materials, curriculum designs and ideas for philosophical dialogue with children, and where teachers and others can be recognised and rewarded for the resources they create. There are over 400 P4C-specific resources on the site and the facilities for searching and filtering content are ready for a big expansion in the material: here you can see some samples. In the future we will also be publishing audio and video material. The same conditions will apply.
