Children's moral and educational future was at the forefront of the second session of Riyadh's Philosophy Conference on Friday.

Over the course of the three-day event, numerous workshops and panels were set up to tackle the integral role of philosophy in the daily lives of young people.

“Engaging youth at the early development stage, when children are not burdened by many layers or conflicting thoughts, sets forth a positive precedent to assist our youth in cementing a better way to process ideas and thoughts from the start,” said Saed Al Bazaei, director of the Publishing and Translation Commission at the Ministry of Culture.
