The Lyceum Project is an original programme of philosophical research on teaching and learning managed by the Department of Philosophy at the University of Liverpool. Working with children throughout the region, we use philosophical methodology to facilitate teaching practice and cultural engagement and to help cultivate the personal development and wellbeing of pupils. Our distinctive methodology—applicable to both curricular and extra-curricular contexts—promotes self-reflection, creativity, rationality, and cultural engagement; all decisive factors in shaping one’s life, values, and expectations. Although our work is in its early stages, it has already been shown to positively affect children’s subjective wellbeing as well as the cultural capital of the region.
