Uplifting concepts

I’ve compiled a list of uplifting concepts to help us through challenging times.

In P4C we often find ourselves tackling quite intense ideas such as difference, inequality, poverty etc., so it might be worth taking a moment to intentionally focus on some of these more positive ones.

Of course everyone will have their own interpretation of them – that’s philosophy for you!
