Philosophy With Children
Monday, May 11th at 6pm
What does it mean to be a good friend? What makes someone or something beautiful? What’s the difference between adults and children?
This 45 minute program will help teach young children to begin to think critically. This ultimately leads to better understanding of themselves and the world around them, along with improving their communication skills. This program is for ages 8-11.
Molly O’Rourke-Friel, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Ursinus College. She, along with undergraduate students, will begin by engaging young minds using literature, music or visual art, to begin a philosophical conversation.
Registration is requested: Online, at the front desk or email smoles@mclinc.org.
