LEVEL 1: 3 MONTHS, 6 PHILOSOPHICAL COMPETENCIES
LEVEL 2: 3 MONTHS, 6 PHILOSOPHICAL COMPETENCIES, 1 SPECIALIZATION
Development of 6 basic skills
TWO LEVELS OF COMPETENCIES
Beginners
The first year of studies is devoted to an introduction to basic thinking competencies. Exercises are aimed at working with your thinking process, your difficulties, and expanding your worldview. This course is a discovery of how human beings think. It is not an easy process, as it forces one to constantly confront oneself, analyze oneself and question usual patterns of behavior. During the course you will train in argumentation, interpretation, problematization, questioning, etc.
Intermediate
These levels are for those who have completed at least one year of study at our course or have successfully completed Levels 2 or 3 in our individual programs. The main focus here is to continue the practice of the thinking skills, but also to have a specialization, either in philosophical conselling, leading workshops, or thinking competencies.
You will learn how to question people, choose strategies to work with them, and interpret their behavior. You will continue to develop skills of questioning, argumentation, and interpretation. You will learn to correct written homework of other students. You will as well deepen your understanding of theoretical backgrounds of philosophical practice.
  • ARGUMENTATION
    Capacity to justify your ideas, examine other people's thinking process. You can have a brilliant idea about something, but without an argument it is difficult to justify it. Argumentation teaches you to see cause-and-effect relationships and communicate your thoughts to other people.
  • INTERPRETATION
    Seeing different meanings behind someone's words, being able to view a situation or a person from multiple angles, looking at a problem from different levels and naming it, finding creative ways of understanding a text.
  • QUESTIONING
    Asking clear and precise questions. Recognizing problems in questions, knowing different types of questions. Turning your idea into a question that will be directed at what you want is an art. Someone who knows how to ask questions is a master of dialogue.
  • CONCEPTUALIZATION
    Naming a phenomenon or a behavior pattern. Extracting the substance from a text. This skill allows you to clarify speech, highlight the essence, and structure your thoughts.
  • PROBLEMATIZATION
    Any statement or a question has limits of application. To see these boundaries is to be aware of an idea. The better the ability to problematize is, the higher creativity is. This implies to learn how to formulate objections and questions.
  • + SELF-AWARENESS
    Understanding yourself and others better. Our reactions to someone's words or attitude manifest our worldview. The ability to interpret them allows you to understand yourself better: how you think, why you think this way, and what the limits of your way of thinking are.

    The latter will be open only to students taking the "Basic program + option conselling" package.
    Those 10 sessions will propose to work more specifically on the analysis of videos of consultations, on philosophical questioning, and on work on the person (cognitive and psychological).

    6
LEVEL 2 SPECIALIZATION

Anyone following the program in level 2 will choose a specialization option, which will define the type of exercises received during the week.

Indeed each week, you will receive 2 exercises. One will be on the competency of the moment, like for level 1 (even if the content will be different), and the other will be established according to the option chosen.
The level 2 workshop will also be divided into 3 groups, each specialization group will have their own workshop.
OPTION 1: THINKING COMPETENCIES

Deepen the competency skills of philosophical practice, in order to better master argumentation, interpretation, problematization and questioning.
OPTION 2: FACILITATION OF WORKSHOPS
Train in facilitating workshops, developing the tools necessary for questioning and organizing group work, under the sharp and critical eye of the tutors.
OPTION 3: PHILOSOPHICAL COUNSELLING
Develop the work of questioning and the work on speech, in order to engage more effectively in a Socratic dialogue with your interlocutors.
Many people associate anxiety with thinking. Therefore, you can often hear "it would be better not to think!". We train people to think and enjoy this process. Tutors of the course share techniques and work with each participant: they explore how you think and look at the world.

This Philosophical Counseling and Practice course is NOT just a training program, it is a LIFESTYLE.
