The conference will have streams focussing on the pedagogy around philosophy in schools, curriculum connections through the capabilities, and a VCE Philosophy stream including exploring some of the new study design for 2025.

We are honoured to have an eminent keynote speaker in the field:

Our second keynote will be dedicated to the work of Janette Poulton, with speakers from many different areas who worked with Janette in the Philosophy for Children space.
