With the PhiloWelt app you prepare a philosophy lesson in a minute — and
teach it with the whole class on their devices.
Whether ethics, philosophy or values education: the app suits learners
from year 5 to 10 at every type of school. Texts, tasks and worksheets
are generated on the spot — matched to topic, school type and year group.
It also works for international preparatory classes: all content is
written with language support in mind and is available in German and
English.
TWO WAYS THROUGH A LESSON
• PAPER MODE — ready-made worksheets for lessons with pen and paper
• CLASS MODE — the whole class philosophises together on their devices
SIX TOPICS FROM THE CURRICULUM
Following the North Rhine-Westphalia curriculum for Practical
Philosophy, changing with the year group:
• Knowledge — perception and illusion · reality and the virtual
• The self — person and personality · designs of the self
• Responsibility — humans and nature · freedom and responsibility
• Relationships — living together · community as a challenge
• Justice — justice · participation and responsibility
• Present and future — sustainable living, learning and development
PAPER MODE — A WORKSHEET IN A MINUTE
You pick topic and focus, the app produces an A4 worksheet:
• Text with line numbers and three tasks at three levels
• The same lesson in simplified language — differentiation without
preparing twice
• Board notes with answers, likely pupil responses and references to
the line in the text
• An opener for the lesson — audio and poster for the classroom display
School type and year group come from the settings. Every sheet can be
read, shared, printed or saved to a USB stick — and goes into the
archive automatically, sorted by year group and topic.
THE OPENER — FOR THE CLASSROOM DISPLAY
Every worksheet can have an opener: a short spoken piece with a picture.
It describes an everyday scene on the topic and ends with the question
at its heart — as a person's thought, not as an instruction. The picture
shows the same scene as a poster and carries the key terms.
Connect the device in landscape, play it, leave the picture up: the
control bar fades away.
CLASS MODE — PHILOSOPHISING TOGETHER
The teacher opens a digital classroom, pupils join with a four-digit
room code. A lesson in four phases:
OPENER — A picture and an audio piece tune the class into the topic.
First thoughts are brought together in real time into one shared
question.
TEXT — It introduces the question and presents two opposing positions —
matched to school type and year group.
TASKS — Three tasks at three levels: recall, explain, judge.
RESULT — Every answer is assessed, with concrete hints for improvement.
The best answers are shown, all others stay anonymous.
If a device loses its connection, one tap picks the lesson up again.
Texts, answers and feedback are saved automatically.
TRY IT WITHOUT A CODE
You need no licence code to start. The first 30 requests are free, with
no time limit — enough for several worksheets or a whole lesson.
