About: This project funded the creation of a module focussed on the use of the P4C (Philosophy for Children) Pedagogy as a form of Peer-Assisted Learning for Undergraduate students in Philosophy.  

Through this module, second-year students are given instruction in the facilitation of the Community of Philosophical Inquiry (CPI) and practice these skills with communities of first-year students. They are guided through reflection on this process and work together to plan and deliver each session.  

This module is currently co-taught by Dr Lucy Elvis and Dr Orla Richarson
