The Thinking Citizen is classroom-ready ethics course for 15 – 18 year-olds, designed to deepen our understanding of values, hone critical thinking, explore identity, and invite a consideration of civic responsibilities.
It draws on the TOK approach – rethinking what we know, rather than onboarding lots of new material – meaning that students can use pre-existing knowledge to get the most out of it. The course has been designed particularly with UAE schools in mind.

Help your learners to exit their echo chambers!
Our online and in-person workshops offer the usual support for students writing the essay and exhibition, and TOK departments designing great courses.
But our training sessions go much further than this: by focusing on authentic critical thinking, they demonstrate how to help learners confront, rather than confirm, their biases and assumptions, and exit their echo chambers. This makes them accessible and relevant for all teachers, whatever their subject or programme. Read more here.
