Parmenides Foundation—Education

 

Parmenides Education aims to teach “the art of thinking”. In contrast to traditional school and university curricula thinking skills are not viewed as mere byproducts of studying but as a subject in its own right.

 

The thrust of Parmenides Education goes in two directions. Firstly, to provide customized education, training and support  of advanced thinking skills for executives and decision makers. Secondly, to foster thinking skills in children. The “Learning to think” project explores how thinking skills develop in children and aims to transfer empirical results into an evidence based kindergarten training program.
