Moshi is a mustache full of ideas!

"You can't spell smart without art"

MOSHI workshops were launched at the summer festival event Paris Plages 2015, as a social response to Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack. Since then, more than 10,000 children and teenagers have enjoyed to debate and make artworks in various places in France and America.

GLOBAL Mission: critical & creative thinking

MOSHI workshops promote critical and creative thinking among children and teenagers through philosophical questioning and artistic expression. The workshops expose them to specific concepts of philosophy, such as, "What is fairness? What is identity, or What is happiness?" As a result, participants are surprised, propelled to ask questions, and are then urged to create their own answers about these topics via art, such as drawings, music, videos, animations, dance, street art, coding, or through games.

MOSHI is an innovative evidence-based method of education endorsed by UNESCO, the IAS Princeton, MIT department of linguistics and philosophy created to help children and teenagers learn that they are inherent philosophizers who can harness this newfound power to grow their world views, enhance tolerance, and foster civic engagement.

Our goal is to educate our future global citizens by offering them the opportunity to express themselves freely through intellectual debates, games and artistic mediums. 

The mission of MOSHI is to develop children and teenagers's critical and creative thinking through philo-artistic workshops and to promote well-being, by teaching them 21st century skills and social and emotional skills.

Children and teenagers learn to develop inner peace and thinking skills. They reach social empowerment and bond while they have fun with each other in a cultural setting.  

• Children and teenagers discover their inner talents. It strengthens their creative power of imagination and invention to promote peaceful coexistence.

• Inspired by Socrates' maieutics, Jung’s individuation process, the Orff approach, MOSHI method of education© is based on two pillars: philosophical thinking and artistic expression through innovative workshops!
