It is a philosophical journey that experiments with the critical and transformative power of collective thinking.

The project comprises 5 meetings divided into 3 days. Each meeting is dedicated to a key word: communicating, reasoning, deciding, imagining, sharing. The meetings are designed in progressive order: each session takes up the practices and concepts learned in the previous one.

The workshop form of the summer school is based on the dialogical and learning-by-doing method. Collective discussions, practical, playful and small-group activities are planned.

Thinking Together to Think Better is conceived as a training in active citizenship. It is a small step to probe how the ways we think are important building blocks in the construction of the society of which we are part.
