THE PHILOSOPHY SHOW
Format: 26 x 22 min / Target Audience: 9 to 12 / Genre: Educational
An original Maki Media concept, The Philosophy Show is – cue the drum roll – a show about philosophy! Philosophy helps us develop self-awareness, our relationships with others and the world that we live in so we may become better people and citizens. The ability to think clearly, to exercise critical judgement, to
reflect, listen actively and respond considerately are all essential skills in 2020. And it allows us to tackle any subject we fancy – with no judgement. In a format that mixes comedy, testimonials, an interactive round table and animation, we plan on presenting philosophy as the umami of the mind. Philosophy is the secret ingredient that makes everything and everybody simply more delicious and interesting.
More please!
