Thoughtful – the new name for SAPERE

SAPERE, the Society for the Advancement of Philosophical Enquiry and Reflection in Education, was founded in 1992 as the UK’s national charity for philosophical enquiry and education. They promote philosophical enquiry as an educational approach that provides people with the skills they need to thrive in school and society. I’m proud to have worked with them as a trainer and facilitator for nearly twenty years.

Thoughtful
