Description:
Project MENON has been executed with the support of the Socrates Comenius 2.1. programme of the European Union. It aims to encourage teachers' professional growth by developing their dialogical sensitivity and skills through philosophical enquiry. As a consequence of this widening of teachers' perspectives and skills, the project is effectively aiming also to convert classrooms into communities of enquiry where dialogue is searched. Children will learn not only basic skills such as listening and responding, but also dispositions for lifelong learning and participation, such as curiosity, reasonableness and openness to others' perceptions and cultures.
