Philosophieren...
The series of talks "Philosophieren..." takes place once a month, always on alternate Sundays, at the Alpine Museum of Switzerland, the Dampfzentrale Bern or the Schlachthaus Theater Bern.
Inspired by current stage plays or exhibitions, questions are raised and controversies opened up with the help of a story or a thought experiment - for children (from four) and adults alike.

Wimmelbuch
The Swiss Association of Philosophy Teachers at Secondary Schools has carried out a project on the question of how philosophy can be translated into pictures. The Bernese publishing house vatter&vatter and Philosophie.ch, the network platform for Swiss philosophy, are involved in the project. The project includes workshops in which image concepts for philosophical questions are developed in collaboration between image designers, philosophers and experts in the publishing industry and then graphically realised. Between the workshops, the interim results are made available online to other interested experts via Philosophie.ch for peer review. The results will flow into a prototype for a philosophical picture book.
More information on the project and the latest contribution entitled "Was weiss ich?" can be found here.
