The Thinking Playground in Old Fadama

We are practicing our pedagogical approach beyond North America!

Under the supervision of our educational director, we have started a Thinking Playground project in Ghana and Ivory Coast. From 2016 to 2018, Arthur worked with a group of children aged nine to sixteen and their teacher in Ghana, with the goal being to nurture a sensitivity to critical, creative and cooperative thinking and, thereby, to enhance agency. While cultivating their philosophical sensibilities relevant to their cultural context, Arthur has kept a diary including its celebratory and challenging times.

At the moment, Arthur is also setting up a project in Ivory Coast!

It is our hope that at some point in the future, we may be able to send a team of THINKING PLAYGROUND counsellors to Ghana and Ivory Coast.
