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 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).
