LEVEL 1: 3 MONTHS, 6 PHILOSOPHICAL COMPETENCIES
LEVEL 2: 3 MONTHS, 6 PHILOSOPHICAL COMPETENCIES, 1 SPECIALIZATION
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
This level is for those who have completed at least one level 1 with us, individually or in a 3 month course. The main focus here is to continue practicing the thinking skills, but also to specialize in either philosophical counseling, 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.

- ARGUMENTATIONCapacity 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.
- INTERPRETATIONSeeing 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.
- QUESTIONINGAsking 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.
- CONCEPTUALIZATIONNaming 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.
- PROBLEMATIZATIONAny 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-AWARENESSUnderstanding 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.
NEW: INTRODUCTION OF A LEVEL 3
This level won't be accessible to everyone as there will be only a few places available. The registrations will be only open to previous students or clients who already followed a complete training, and who will be approved by IPP.
Concerning this level, the practical information will be determined by the end of August/beginning of September depending on the amount of participants.
There will be a weekly meeting of 2 hours, 3 times a month (day and time to be determined by the group). Those meetings will be either a collective workshop, or a presentation by a practionner.
Then, each of you will choose 3 hours per month for individual coaching (either 2 meetings of 1h30, or 3 of 1h).
In total, each student will receive 9 hours of individual coaching, 18 hours of collective meetings (workshops or presentations), and some private feedback on exercises as well as weekly exchanges with a tutor.

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 COUNSELING
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.
