APPEND

Asia Pacific Philosophy Education Network for Democracy (APPEND)


Origins of APPEND

The first APPEND meeting in 1996 was held as a follow-up of an earlier UNESCO regional meeting of specialists in philosophy teaching in 1995 when educators and philosophers discussed the case for philosophy teaching for democracy in their respective countries, as well as their hopes for future developments. At the 1995 meeting much emphasis was given to the nature of philosophy as reflective and critical thinking. In education, philosophy serves democracy because it teaches students how to deliberate, how to examine, how to question, and it does this by allowing students to do so in the classroom, including the distance education classroom which is so crucial to the developing countries in the region. At this conference, the Asian concern with the whole was especially apparent in discussions on philosophy teaching’s role in science and technology. Out of the meeting came the creation of the Asia-Pacific Philosophy Education Network for Democracy, APPEND.
