I really enjoyed doing this! It is a redux of a paper I wrote on Plato, metacognition and philosophy in schools for @JournalP4C I particularly like the ref to Picasso who’s exhibition I’d been to a week before at @Tate Modern.
Becoming a Socrates to Oneself, consciousness, philosophy and metacognition a talk by @the_if_man at last years @EnglishTalks_ buff.ly/2LG3gOS
Do you remember @nickbutterrun? He spoke at last year's #EnglishTalks in #London, and his project is #RunningTheWorld196. But he's not feeling too well now on this 159th #marathon, so please join us in sending him some positive energy. 🤗💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Today is #MotherLanguageDay, so we thought we'd celebrate by sharing one of our videos in which a mother talks about her #bilingual daughter. youtu.be/GFgotHQGbGU #bilingualism #language
And which #books did you find the most inspiring this past year? Please share your ideas with us! #reading #readinglist #2018readingchallenge youtu.be/divbEFG6IGI
Peter Worley (@the_if_man), philosopher, author and one of the #EnglishTalks 2018 speakers will soon have a new book out. "We should educate by asking questions rather than by giving lectures. When we teach through questions, the students' brains are doing the work..." -Socrates
We're currently uploading the #EnglishTalks 2018 #London videos onto our IGTV. The theme this year was #Consciousness, and we were once again very privileged to have with us speakers from around 🌍 and from across different disciplines.

"Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
...Imagine all the people
Living life in peace..."
