What's the point of this:  Children learn to think about complex and important issues from different perspectives (classes are aimed at developing critical and systemic thinking, argumentation skills, conceptual and logical analysis, effective communication and intellectual collaboration, as well as understanding their own worldview, expanding their horizons, and developing a thinking personality).

What topics will be covered:
Such universal themes as good and evil, responsibility, choice, happiness, beauty, freedom, justice, truth and lies, knowledge, etc.  
Illustrative examples of questions:
 - Is the hole part of the donut? (the nature of things, the relationships between them)
 - Should the ant help the grasshopper? (responsibility, justice, mercy)  
 - What is better - to be an unhappy prince or a happy pig? (value choice, human nature, happiness, the meaning of life)
 - Who is smarter - me or my smartphone? (natural and artificial intelligence, different meanings of concepts) 
 - If two people think differently about the same thing, who is right? (evidence, factual and value beliefs)
 - Am I the same person five years ago and today? (identity, continuity, change)
 - What is real in virtual reality? (real/unreal and their relationship) 
Questions (and 'stimuli', for example, a fairy tale, a picture, a situation) are selected according to the age, interests of the children and the preferences of the parents. 

Who facilitates the discussions:  Alexandra Konoplyanik, a professional philosopher and educator, a graduate of the London School of Economics' philosophy department, a former visiting philosophy teacher at multiple London schools, as well as the Letovo School and the RANEPA Lyceum in Moscow.
