Workshops for grades 3 and 4

Class ticket: 75 euros - Registration: junges@literaturhaus-frankfurt.de

Under the theme "What can I hope for?" philosopher Jörg Bernardy and children's book expert Antje Ehmann lead philosophical workshops with students in grades 3 and 4. The starting point is picture book stories and a magazine specially developed for "Thought Flyers". Between discussions, children create, paint, and write. The workshops give children space to develop their own thoughts without judgment, to articulate them, and to share them in discussion - for example, what values they share with others or how they respect different opinions.

Each workshop is designed for one class and lasts 90 minutes. The "Thought Flyers" format was developed at Literaturhaus Hamburg and is now being held again at Literaturhaus Frankfurt.

In cooperation with Thought Flyers, supported by the Federal Centre for Civic Education. The Young Literaturhaus is supported by the Dr. Marschner Foundation and the Cronstett and Hynspergische Evangelical Foundation.
