The training has a modular structure and starts with the topic ME, and develops thematically towards YOU, towards the community, i.e. the WE, through to one’s own values ??and attitude. The training modules are practice-oriented "hands-on seminars".

Module 1: Who am I? - the pillars of the "I"
The aim of the first module is to develop skills for philosophical questions and the framework for philosophical discussions. The participants gain initial experience in moderating philosophical discussions and develop the necessary prerequisites for practical implementation. You will also learn methods and techniques for developing philosophical questions so that you can immediately apply and try them out in practice. The main focus is on life issues related to your own self with thoughts and feelings.

Module 2: What does relationship mean? - interpersonal, the "YOU"
The second training module focuses on the philosophical attitude and the thematic focus on "relationships" and "interpersonal issues". In addition, the role of the discussion leader in philosophical discussions is examined in more detail and further developed through an extended discussion. In a practice transfer, the participants can exchange and work on experiences and difficulties together with the seminar leader. Differences between philosophising and other "forms of conversation" are made clear through exercises and round off the second module.

Module 3: What is real? - Things, realities & the "WE"
In the third module, the participants get to know new techniques for in-depth questioning in philosophical discussions. In addition, the p4c is another method on the program. After the philosophical question and attitude (modules 1 and 2), philosophical activities are considered and worked out as a method. Reality and the things that surround us and make up the world are the focus of this third module. "What is magic? Where does the world come from? What does community actually mean?" are possible questions. A further practical transfer represents another important building block in Module 3.

Module 4: How do we want to live? - Values & Responsibility
The last module focuses on topics related to values ??and the final units of the participants: "How do values ??come about?" or "What is really important in life?". The prospective discussion leaders also get to know a more advanced variant of philosophising. Monitoring and feedback is another component of this module. The ceremonial awarding of certificates at the end of the second day concludes this training series.
