program that brings philosophy education to developing nations
around the world.
Writer Phineas Upham and the Philosophy Book Review are collaborating to create a brand new outreach program entitled ?Philosophy United Initiative,? which seeks to bring philosophy writing to underprivileged youth by making it part of nonprofit educational programs in developing nations.
Phineas Upham, along with a team of philosophy bloggers, will develop a series of lesson plans and course materials, including worksheets, exams and classroom activities, to be distributed to schools across the world.?The human brain is the most powerful tool we have, ?said Upham, ?It is critical that children have the opportunity to develop their thinking skills from a young age.?
The initiative kicks off with an international tour of select schools partaking in the program. During these visits, Upham and participating Philosophy Book Review staff will meet with teachers and students and lead discussions on select course materials.
?I am extremely devoted to this cause and want to ensure that educators and students alike are getting the most out of the Philosophy United Initiative,? said Phineas Upham.
The prospective launch date for the program is February 2013.To learn more, please visit Philosophy Book Review.
