This training activity shows how philosophy increases our capacity for dialogue. It shows how, by promoting questioning and cultivating the habit of carefully scrutinising different issues, we can create a community atmosphere in which we can think together with others. In these sessions, theory and practice are interconnected, showing that the strategies presented in the course of the activity can be used in various educational contexts, while, at the same time, offering a way of thinking. This exercise involves promoting a community’s capacity for shared thought.
