Abstract
This chapter presents a case study of Philosophy for/with Children (P4wC) implementation in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) within an English university setting. It shares details of the journey the authors took to champion P4wC and implement change. Through professional development with colleagues, and advocacy of P4wC, the authors worked towards a vision of embedding P4wC within the ITE programmes at their institution. Initially this required a stealth approach to find pockets of space and time through which to incorporate features of P4wC into teaching modules. As the journey developed, this approach grew. Through winning hearts and minds aspects of practice have been transformed. The benefits and challenges encountered on the journey are discussed and recommendations for others on a similar path are provided.
