'You get to be friends with people you never thought you’d be friends with'

This short video of Philosophy for Children in action at Rokeby School in London is more relevant than ever.  I’ve recently watched it again and found it profoundly moving.  In the context of the Black Lives Matter movement and renewed motivation to build equality and cohesion, it strengthens my belief that P4C is an excellent way to develop understanding, respect and tolerance.

Through P4C these students became more culturally sensitive.

They also developed a greater sense of unity:We were all separate – but then when we did P4C we became one’.
