Join Sheffield Children’s University’s Festival of Fun this summer and join us for a FUN packed Philosophy for Children session this August.

At DECSY most, if not all, of our curriculum development projects have P4C (Philosophy for Communities / Children) at their heart. See Helen Griffin’s blog describing the use of P4C as part of the Nonviolent Action: A Force for Change project: https://www.thinktogethersheffield.org/post/nonviolent-action-a-force-for-change

Our Philosophy for Children on-line After School Club runs on Tuesdays, 4.30pm – 5.45pm, and is now available for credits from Sheffield Children’s University.

Our latest Annual Report is available here. A great overview of our activities during 2020.

You are invited to join us for our second online AGM on Wednesday 28th April. The event will begin with a workshop lead by Sarah Ahmed entitled: ‘Anti-Racist Education.’ The AGM will follow this at 6.15 pm. To register for the Zoom meeting link contact: bookings@decsy.org.uk

New Resources links added for January 2021 – DECSY staff have put together a selection of resources aimed at children / young people learning at home. They are aimed at parents and carers but can also be used by teachers and in some cases for self directed study.

This new resource and associated free training sessions will help teachers make a contribution to a recovery curriculum in schools, and beyond this, by providing interesting, engaging and relevant content that encourages pupils to recall, discuss and process some of their thoughts, feelings and memories. The next training session – January, 2021, TBC.

Starting again in Autumn Term 2020 this is a group for anyone using P4C. Most of the people who come have done P4C Level 1 or 2 but anyone is welcome to come along as long as you have group or individual membership of DECSY.These meetings will take place...
