Wonderful to plan another Philosofun on the important theme of CLIMATE. A great group of participants mostly from England and also Northern Ireland, Quebec and Saudi Arabia. Teachers, university lecturers and organisations joined us for an hour and a bit of powerful and fun thinking together.

Been putting the final touches for the upcoming #Philosofun CPD on the cross curricular theme of CLIMATE. Think this may well be one of my favourites themes yet to plan. Expand your understanding of the concept of climate in a playful way. Do join us. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/philosofun...
