James Beck organised an excellent trip to the Philosophy Now Festival on 20 January. We took six Upper Sixth students who delivered short papers (Philosophy Snaps) on the research they conducted during their IB Diploma extended essays.
Sevenoaks School had its own slot in the festival, in The Bertrand Russell Room, and the event was well attended. The students held a lively and instructive Q&A session following all of their talks.
This was the fourth annual Philosophy Now Festival and included talks, debates, workshops, and philosophical games for all ages.
