P4C, or Philosophy for Children, Communities and Colleges is an educational approach and worldwide movement that teaches reasoning, critical thinking, and communication skills to children through group dialogue. Developed by Matthew Lipman in the 1960s, it encourages children to think for themselves, ask thoughtful questions, and explore deep topics together.
