We were delighted to work with The BBC at the weekend. The Free Thinking Festival at The Sage in Gateshead took place over three days with inspiring and thought provoking speakers such as authors Philippa Gregory and Amos Oz, presenters Andrew Marr and Samira Ahmed, academics from Oxford, Cambridge and Essex universities – an amazing three days of debate, new ideas and challenging thoughts. On Saturday Philosophy4Children ran two family sessions which we thoroughly enjoyed and the feedback from participants shows they enjoyed it as well. “The two leaders were clear and welcoming… they made us feel safe so that we could share our ideas and thoughts.” Another response was “Thought provoking, delivered well in an inclusive of all manner, stimulating!” and “A brilliant starting point for my seven year old daughter, thank you.” Highlights of the Free Thinking Festival are being broadcast at 10pm each evening this week – do try to listen!
