Philosophy for Children

A Critical Educational Experience in Latin America

Abstract

The Philosophy for Children -FpN- in the public school, goes through the challenge of thinking about the possibilities of pedagogical action that stresses the knowledge and practices of teaching in the field of philosophy in the midst of the civilizational and post-pandemic crisis. This proposal responds to this challenge that consists of a didactic scaffolding, synthesis of a program and a teaching methodology called the Didactic Action Unit of Philosophy For Children, implemented at the Antonio Baraya School in Bogotá since 2015, in order to link the praxis of research and theoretical reflection of a Latin American critical philosophy under the disciplinary horizon of Ethics, Aesthetics and Politics, which offers strategies and didactic action tools for the human formation of participatory citizenships in childhood and their role as subjects with the human capacities necessary to influence the organization of their communities from inquiry, dialogue, dissertation and the creation of their ser-estando as an alternative to possible worlds.
