New series of meetings: Astronomy and Philosophy!
This is an exceptional series of meetings that I do together with Salvina Spota*.
⭐ These five meetings were created to share with the children a little bit of the history of science. We talk about what the ancient philosophers thought about the cosmos, its beginning, composition and fate, about nature and reality and compare it with what science has to say about all this today. This is a beautiful journey through the history of a universe that is constantly changing and a civilization that never looses its curiosity and astonishment upon everything that surrounds it.
⭐DYNAMICS of the meetings: we meet weekly on zoom and every meeting lasts around one hour. The series consists of five meetings. The maximum amount of participants is 12 children.
