Philosophy for Children Program - P4C
The Philosophy for Children program was designed to allow elementary school children the opportunity to be introduced to important philosophical and logical principles in a fun, engaging, and intellectually-safe environment.
Students will get the chance to express themselves in a philosophically-guided discussion that will let them have fun as well as increase their creative-thinking abilities, logical skills, and most importantly their sense of wonder.
The program began in the Spring semester of 2007 at St. Joan of Arc Elementary School here in Omaha. After attending a P4C workshop in Hawaii with University of Hawaii Philosophy Professor Dr. Thomas Jackson, Creighton University students, under the direction of Dr. Jinmei Yuan (Creighton University), were able to bring the P4C program to the Omaha-area (and the Midwest) for the first time.
If you would like more information on volunteering with the P4C program or getting your own elementary or high school involved in P4C, please send us an email at jinmei@creighton.edu.
