Project description

How do you encourage young people to reflect on animal welfare through philosophical dialogue? To explore this, we are designing the BeestenBril educational methodology. Our goal is to stimulate the development of empathy in children. By using philosophical questions, we provoke reflection with questions such as: Are some animals more important than others? or Can you know what an animal wants?
