What we do
HIP is an educational initiative. We bring philosophical inquiry into schools, then make it possible for young people to continue those conversations beyond a single lesson.
The work has a clear order: philosophy in schools comes first. Inquiry-based education is how we teach; intellectual community is what can grow from it.
Primary work
HIP aims to work with schools to introduce meaningful philosophical discussion through workshops, sessions and other educational programmes. We want students to experience philosophy as a living practice of asking, listening and reasoning together.
Educational approach
Students are not simply asked to remember what philosophers have said. They are invited to pose questions, test reasons, challenge assumptions and form their own conclusions with care.
A wider horizon
For young people who want to keep thinking beyond an individual school session, HIP hopes to build opportunities for discussion, events and intellectual friendship.
We are developing this work slowly and seriously, in conversation with schools and the people it is meant to serve.
