CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
(Please forward
this message to anyone you think might be interested)
P4C.COM LIMITED
is a UK-based not-for-profit cooperative, providing
online resources and
support for philosophical dialogue with children
and teenagers.
Despite the
growing popularity of philosophy for and with children and
the tremendous
creativity of teachers and others working in this field,
many schools and
teachers worldwide practise P4C in isolated pockets.
Excellent resources and
examples of good practice fail to reach the
widest audience of P4Cers who would
find them useful, and conferences
only provide short-term opportunities to
share, question and discuss.
P4C.COM is a
subscription-based website aiming to reduce isolation and
increase
collaboration. Authors and organisations allowing us to use
their materials on
the website receive a share of the subscription
income. We do not ask for
exclusive use or ownership of copyright.
Contributors may use their work
anywhere else they like. In fact, they
may already have made the work available
on their own websites or
published it themselves.
Accepted contributions are
awarded points, and income is distributed to
each contributing individual or
organisation every six months according
to their share of the overall total of
points. We can pay international
contributors and organisations as well as ones
from the UK.
On-going contributors (organisations and individuals) are
eligible to
become members of the co-operative if they so wish. Members can
share in
decision-making and enjoy other benefits such as free conferences and
seminars.
Any
income not used for payment of authors is used for the maintenance
and
improvement of the website, to pay for editing and administrative
services and
to contribute funds to worthwhile projects in Philosophy
for and with children
around the world. NONE is taken as an un-earned
share of profits.
We would
like P4C.COM to become a site where
people go to find a wide
range of materials, curriculum designs and ideas for
philosophical
dialogue with children, and where teachers and others can be recognised
and
rewrded for the resources they create. There are over 400
P4C-specific
resources on the site and the facilities for searching and
filtering content
are ready for a big expansion in the material. You can
see some samples
at http://p4c.com/sample-resources. In
the future we
will also be publishing audio and video material. The same
conditions
will apply.
