I don't know if I can post it here but I can make it available to anyone who wants it.

Material for Animal Minds session
I have prepared a short ppt presentation with videos and links to online videos of complex behaviours in Crows and Chimpanzees, including apparent planning/tool use/tool manufacture/domain general representation (all of which are arguable of course).

How to get involved (Teachers and Schools)
First and Foremost--Email Us [email address]!
--We'll set up a preliminary meeting, in person or by phone
Here we will discuss what sort of project would best for your school (or other youth organisation). We can cater for all tastes and are capable of delivering a wide variety of different activities to a wide range of age groups and full range of abilities, from small group tutorials to half year lectures. The message is: We will be able to run an exciting productive project with your school, regardless of the situation.
--We'll then arrange a one-off taster session
This is in order to us to assess the group, and for you to assess us. Following from this first session we can start to plan any longer term project that might be desired; putting together times, dates, possible topics and any other necessary details. We will continue to ask you and your pupils for feedback throughout the project in order to ensure that we continue to be a successful as we have been.
--The administrative input required from you is minimal.
We provide CRB checks and Child Protection Training for our volunteers through Sheffield Volunteering [Website address]. The planning of discussions/lessons/lectures and coordination of our volunteers is left completely in our capable hands. It does not matter whether you and your colleagues have any philosophical background, or whether the students have even heard of philosophy. We are fully equipped both to start completely from scratch or facilitate the grappling of difficult philosophical material.
Do not hestitate to contact us for more details or to arrange a preliminary meeting. Please email us at: [email address].
