Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to argue for a multidisciplinary program, which can be called “Philosophy, Literature and Meditation Workshops for Children” as a complementary component in the educational training of children. In fact, adherence to this component is an attempt to improve the educational attainment, encompassing both the intellectual and emotional domains. It is known that Philosophy is an area of ​​knowledge that becomes essential for the development of critical thinking. It is also known that Literature, philosophical or not, is what brings us to new reflective possibilities, so the junction of these two disciplines can offer a very fertile ground for intellectual development. However, facing the nuances that pervade the construction of the human being it cannot be given less attention to the emotional development. In this way, there are evidence about the importance of the use of meditation to develop some competences such as attention and awareness, ability to understand and manage emotions, development of relational skills, among others. Given this, it is intended to argue that these workshops have much to contribute to human improvement in their educational training.
