How can schools prepare children not just to absorb knowledge, but to question, create and innovate? Drawing on his work with schools in Nigeria, Leo Igwe argues that critical and creative thinking should be taught from an early age. He introduces the educational approach known as Philosophy for Children and explains how it is helping to equip young people with the habits of mind they need to thrive in the twenty-first century.
Leo is Director of the Critical Thinking Social Empowerment Foundation in Nigeria, which promotes critical and creative thinking in schools. He is also a Board member of Humanists International.
