This work by Patricia Hannam and Eugenio Echeverria is one of the first attempts to show us how we might use the Community of Philosophical Inquiry to go about a reconstruction of education that would render students the cognitive; social and emotional skills they need to live consciously and actively in a globalized world.

Nurturing philosophical enquiry and developing international partnerships across schools ensure that young people explore the moral dimensions of global citizenship. (Olga Stanojlovic; Director; Schools in Education; British Council)
A timely and very welcome book; Philosophy with Teenagers shows how philosophical enquiry offers a way of developing and nurturing the skills and moral sensibilities needed to thrive as an adolescent in an uncertain and demanding age. Intellectually coherent; perceptive and bursting with good sense; it will be an invaluable source of inspiration for hardpressed secondary teachers looking for practical ways to reconcile their own educational values; the demands of the 21st century classroom and a world needing as never before to find ways of talking and listening to its many peoples. (Dr Barry Hymer; Director of Still Thinking UK)
“One sees the experience of the authors shining through the text; the practical has been tested; and presumably works in certain circumstances with certain young people. It has the air of authentic education; which resonated with my own work both with young people and undergraduate students I could imagine that it would work for me.” Richard Davies; BERA; 2009.
