Young Philosophers Club - What does it mean to be free? For 7-11 year olds

What does it mean to be free? For 7-11 year olds

In this club, we’ll explore the big idea of freedom through games, stories, thought experiments and lively discussions. Each week, we’ll dive into puzzling questions like:

• Are animals freer than humans?
• Is freedom doing whatever you want — or something more?
• What exactly is freedom?

This club will be led by TPF Specialist Philosopher Steven Campbell-Harris.
