Welcome to 21st Century Learners

 Welcome to 21st Century Learners. I am Dr Neil Phillipson and I believe that dialogue is fundamental to education -  please do browse my blog posts to find out why. I have co-authored a book on Dialogic Education with Rupert Wegerif, Professor of Education at Cambridge University and I am a Sapere-registered trainer in Philosophy for Children (P4C). I also facilitate 'global dialogues' with Generation Global. On this site you can find details of the support I provide for schools in P4C and Dialogic Teaching.
