Description
These constitute the core of the event. These smaller gatherings of pupils and teachers in different rooms happens simultaneously.
Pupils taking part in the workshops have to write a paper presenting their commentary on a philosophical text of their own choosing, preferably making a link to the theme of HYBRIDITY. The theme or topic of the paper may be chosen from one of the following:
Ethics
Theory of Knowledge
Politics and Society
Philosophical Anthropology
Other domains
The participant’s paper may consist of the following:
A substantial excerpt from a philosophical text;
A commentary on this text which should explain the main claim and question it tries to answer;
A counterpoint or counter-argument to the text’s main claim (this can either be the writer’s own reflections or another viewpoint from another thinker/field of study).
A paper can be delivered in either French or English. Each workshop lasts for 1 hour. There should be at least 15 min. for a plenary “question and answer” portion of the session. Each session is managed by a pupil chairperson (with the support of a teacher).
