About us

P4C.com and SAPERE

P4C.com is The Society for the Advancement of Philosophical Enquiry and Reflection in Education’s (SAPERE) Resource Hub for educators who want pupils of all ages to think for themselves through philosophical dialogue with others.

We provide resources, lesson plans, advice, collaboration, and tools for creating your own dynamic materials.

P4C.com was a registered co-operative committed to co-operative principles, including self-sufficiency, independence and co-operation.

In 2024 the site was donated to the UK’s national charity for philosophy for children, colleges and communities, SAPERE, to enable the charity to carry out its work to support educators across the UK.

Subscriptions enable the site to be maintained and developed, for editorial services and for writers to be rewarded for their efforts.

Any surplus made by P4C.com supports the charitable work of SAPERE.

SAPERE exists to help people improve their learning and their lives through philosophical enquiry. Our aim is to give people the skills to thrive in school and society.  

Our vision is a future where everyone has the opportunity to engage philosophically in discussions and public discourse that matters to them, that motivates them to listen and to learn from others and that makes a difference to how they think, feel, speak, and act in the world. We strive to realise these benefits of philosophical education as widely and equitably as possible, and we believe that this is both a personal and public good. 

SAPERE would like to thank Steve Williams, Kay Williams, Roger Sutcliffe and James Nottingham for their work in setting up and running P4C.com and for their very kind donation to SAPERE.
