The BPA invites nominations for its prize for individuals for engaging in philosophy in the community.
The award recognizes excellence in engaging in philosophical activities – which might include teaching or less formal forms of interaction – outside formal education. Communities might include community philosophy clubs, prisoners, refugees, sanctuary seekers, and homeless persons. Evidence of excellence may include (but is not limited to) testimonies from participants, charities, support workers, support groups, and other members of the communities. The reach and impact of the activity should be evidenced along with any contributions to equality, diversity and inclusion.
In no more than 750 words, the nomination should explain:
- the community in which the activity has been carried out;
- the activity that has been carried out;
- the positive outcomes of the activity.
You will also need to provide the contact details of a referee for the nominee. The reference must be no more than 300 words and be sent by the referee to admin@bpa.ac.uk by the nomination deadline.
Please consult the Terms & Conditions before proceeding!
