In the same year he was elected President of ICPIC, the international equivalent of SAPERE.

Just to expand on the practice of philosophical enquiry: its methods, 'rules' rituals almost are highly supportive, protective and empowering for children and communities. It is moving and exciting to research how an enquiry is run. The practice transformed my teaching life..

[MrEdUB]

Great talk Roger. I wish people could experience the power of a community of inquiry, of thinking together, not a discussion, not a debate, bit thinking together. Beyond personal opinions, beyond ego's. The problems of the world can't be solved by majorities of people. We have to think together.
