IAPC Affiliate Centers

There are numerous Philosophy for Children Centers around the world that are formally affiliated with the IAPC—most of which were established through the work of the IAPC. These centers are autonomous though they often collaborate with the IAPC, and maintain contact through the IAPC Associate Director for International Affairs. Many of them have formed regional and national associations. IAPC affiliate centers receive the following kinds of support from the IAPC:

• Contact information listed on the IAPC website (see below)
• Publication of accomplishments in The IAPC Newsletter
• Discounts on IAPC Publications
• Invitations to collaborate with IAPC faculty and staff in projects of research, dissemination, policy change, curriculum development, theory development, grant writing, etc.
• Consultation on such work by IAPC faculty and staff
