Ready to celebrate World Philosophy Day?
Here's the good news!
At Wonder Ponder we have decided to turn it into a full World Wonderpondering Week. And we are going to make you all think mercilessly, non-stop.
How?
1. With a fantabulous, free, downloadable thinking sheet for fun and games with your brain.
2. For those of you in México only: To celebrate the publication of the Mexican version of Cruelty Bites by publisher Sexto Piso, a book presentation at the Biblioteca Vasconcelos in Mexico City, plus a number of conferences and an eight hour workshop (check out details in Spanish here).
3. With a free, downloadable poster as celebratory decoration.
First things first. We have prepared a special downloadable thinking sheet. If you print it on one page on both sides and fold it down the middle, you'll have a nice wee 'booklet' to hand out in class, read and chat about at home and think of any good questions of your own. For an extra slick look, try printing it on coloured paper.
Second, (only for people in Mexico), on Wednesday 15th, we are taking part in the International Children's Literature Festival in Mexico City (FILIJ), with a conferencia on Visual Philosophy for Children in the morning and a book launch for the Mexican version of Cruelty Bites in the afternoon. On World Philosophy Day itself (16th of November), we'll be taking part in a round table on non-fiction books at the same fair, and starting our eight-hour workshop in the afternoon. On Friday the 17th, we'll be completing the workshop.
For Wonder Ponder, World Philosophy Day not only celebrates philosophy, it also marks the third anniversary of the launch of our first title Cruelty Bites in Spain, in November 2014. Today, it has been published in South Korea, Argentina, Mexico and Brasil and rights have been sold to Germany. All our titles are published in Spain, in three languages (Spanish, English and Catalan).
So we have rather a lot to celebrate!
And that's where our free, downloadable World Philosophy Day thinking poster comes in. Enjoy!
