At HowTheLightGetsIn, big ideas aren’t just for grown-ups. Any parent knows that children are full of questions—and already experienced philosophers in their own right! Our children’s programme opens up the wonder of philosophy to our next generation of great thinkers. Join this packed programme of workshop experiences to capture imaginations, create memories, and inspire a lifelong love of asking questions. With stories, lively discussion, and interactive workshops, young minds will discover that the biggest ideas can also be the most fun.
