The Philosophy in Schools Association of New South Wales is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting philosophy in schools in New South Wales. Its primary role is to provide professional development for teachers.

Philosophy in Schools NSW Association is a founding member of the Federation of Asia-Pacific Philosophy in Schools Associations (FAPSA), with affiliate associations across several states of Australia, as well as associations in New Zealand, Hong Hong and Singapore. FAPSA’s journal, the Journal of Philosophy in Schools is open-access and available here: https://jps.bham.ac.uk/.

FAPSA is affiliated with the International Council of Philosophic Inquiry with Children (IPIC) a worldwide organisation for philosophers and educators engaged in philosophy in school and with your people. 

The Association for Philosophy in Schools NSW is also part of a global UNESCO network that advocates for children to engage in philosophical inquiry. Our workshops have recently been endorsed by the UNESCO Chair on the Practice of Philosophy with Children, based at the Université de Nantes in France. Through this link to the UNESCO collaboration, our association is connected to other associations, institutions, and educational leaders around the world
