Read moreI began the journey as a mother of five wonderful children. Motherhood strengthened my belief in the value of self-learning and stimulating reflection with my beloved family. Then, my university major directed my attention to the value of stimulating moral reasoning as a fundamental goal for education. Therefore, I made dialogical teaching and learning and philosophical thinking the center of my focus in developing my career as an educational consultant. Meeting my dream specialization: Philosophy for Children (P4C) And now, after ten years of learning, working, and gaining experience, I can say that I've found my passion, strength, inspiration, and role in spreading P4C education professionally in the Arab world. P4C is a revolutionary model for the educational process. It brings a qualitative shift not only in arousing interest and desire in learners by giving back children the gift of questioning, but also in balancing the relationship between the teacher and the learner. Thus, it reduces the accumulated gap in their hierarchical relationship and creates an environment where education and learning are integral parts of the same continuous human experience. In my beloved country, where development in all fields is happening at an unprecedented pace, it's time to transition to the dialogical education model offered by philosophical thinking, with all its distinctive features and constructive potential. As the first expert in this field in the Arabic language, I can confidently say that I am taking sincere, ambitious, and accomplished steps towards change by driving the facilitation wheel instead of traditional education. I aim to provide internationally accredited programs to train the highest caliber of professionals in facilitating Philosophy for Children (P4C) in Arabic.
