PFA Junior Book Club: The Little Prince 
Young aspiring philosophers (8-12 years old) are invited to join the new PFA (Philosophy for All) Junior Book Club for reading and discussing Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic "The Little Prince" (in English). The club will be led and facilitated by a professional philosopher (Alexandra Konoplyanik, see below). The participants can join on a regular or drop-in basis. We'll cover one or two chapters per session. We'll start weekly or bi-weekly sessions once enough participants have signed up. The day and time of regular sessions are still being considered - please, indicate your availability in the form below. 

Each new participant is offered one taster session for FREE. The price of subsequent sessions is GBP 10 per session per child. Special price for PFA financial members - GBP 8 per session per child. To register your interest, please, fill the below form. 

I am a professional philosopher trained and experienced in working with children. I have a Master's degree in Philosophy from the London School of Economics and have taught at a number of private and state schools in London and Moscow (incl Letovo School and the RANEPA Lyceum). I am a member of several international professional associations of philosophers working with children (SOPHIA, ICPIC) and a member of the British Association of Philosophy Teachers. I facilitate group discussions of philosophical questions with children of any age, starting from primary school. These sessions are aimed at developing critical and systemic thinking, argumentation skills, conceptual and logical analysis, effective communication and intellectual collaboration, as well as understanding one's own worldview, expanding the horizons of thinking, nurturing a thinking personality. 

Philosophy for All (PFA) is an independent non-profit association open to everyone interested in philosophy, active since 1998. It hosts a number of regular free events for the general public: Kant's Cave lectures and Film Club (in London), online Midnight Philosophy and Political Animals discussion groups, a Book Club and Philosophical Walks. It also hosts special collaboration events.

The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince) is a novella written and illustrated by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It was first published in 1943 and is one of the best-selling books in history. The story follows a young prince who visits various planets, including Earth, and addresses themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. Despite its style as a children's book, The Little Prince makes observations about life, adults, and human nature. Full text here.
