Welcome to Children Doing Philosophy, or CDP. We are a task force of educators dedicated to bringing philosophy to children to improve their critical thinking and reasoning skills. More holistically, we hope to encourage them to be self-reflecting individuals and excellent members of society.
One day, we hope to be funded by grants, prizes, investors, philanthropists or other sources to give our organization a permanent place in our local community. We are located in California in the Bay Area, or within Silicon Valley.
Our current plan is to teach 2000 children philosophy in a 7 year period, though we would be delighted to teach even more children in a shorter window of time.
We hope community leaders, principals, teachers, librarians, parents, education advocates, fans of the humanities, and event staff members are receptive to a potential collaboration with CDP, which would bring substantial benefits to the children.
Feel free to browse our site at your leisure and we hope to come in contact with you soon!
