Philosophy

The Swiss Philosophy Olympiad is a competition where secondary school students can learn more, meet like-minded people from all over Switzerland and qualify for the International Philosophy Olympiad. In order to participate you do not need to know Plato's works inside out, nor do you need years of philosophy classes behind you. An interest in philosophy and critical thinking is enough!
