Read and write about p4c

HERE IS THE PLACE to read and submit articles about philosophy for children. The articles will cover important debates, new developments, national and international experiences and summaries of research. They will be of readable length and style and aimed at teachers and other practitioners rather than the academic community. We will collect selected articles into occasional e-journals and inform members of journal development through our newsletters. We welcome articles from your pupils and students (if you have their permission).

If you would like to submit an article, please contact Steve Williams.
