Founder and Vision Lead

Before stepping fully into education, Dr Peng was a widely read social commentator in China, known for her writing on gender, justice, and power. She began her career in journalism and cultural criticism, engaging deeply with public discourse. But over time, she became increasingly aware of its limits. “Critical voices can awaken a few,” she often says, “but only education can shape a generation.”

That belief led her to the classroom—not just to speak, but to listen, to teach, and to learn alongside others. As a university lecturer, she taught philosophy, sociology, gender studies and media theory, and helped foster open conversations on feminism and social responsibility. She saw clearly that the awakening of women—and of any marginalised group—is not a single moment, but a slow, intergenerational project. Education, for her, is the means by which social understanding moves from idea to inheritance.

After relocating to the UK, Dr Peng began to focus on younger learners, particularly children growing up across languages and cultures. She found that the greatest challenge for such children was not access to knowledge, but the development of voice, presence, and belonging. She began asking: how do we help children navigate identity, ambiguity and difference—not defensively, but creatively and with confidence?

In recent years, Dr Peng has turned her attention to what it means to educate in the age of AI. She believes that as machines become increasingly capable of processing information, the essence of education must return to what makes us human: perception, expression, and reflection. “We should not compete with technology in efficiency,” she notes, “but deepen what technology cannot replicate—our capacity for wonder and meaning.”

Her current work advocates for an education that unites nature, music, and philosophy—three languages of human understanding that cultivate sensitivity, imagination, and moral reflection. In her view, these are not separate disciplines but interwoven ways of knowing: nature awakens perception, music nurtures expression, and philosophy guides reflection. Together, they form the foundation for a kind of intelligence that remains profoundly human—curious, ethical, and alive.

Director, Director of Curriculum, Think Tank Researcher

Dr Yan holds a PhD in Philosophy from Sun Yat-sen University and has spent over a decade in primary and secondary education in China. He is known for pioneering practical approaches to Philosophy for Children (P4C) in Chinese classrooms and has developed cross-disciplinary curricula that integrate philosophical enquiry, local culture, and outdoor learning. He previously taught at Nao Experimental School in Guangzhou and Shanghai Pinghe Bilingual School, where his work sparked national media attention, including features in Sanlian Life Weekly, The Educator by Guangming Daily, and Bund Education. He is also the author of Doing Philosophy with Children (Sanlian Publishing).

Since 2019, Dr Yan has been deeply involved in training teachers in P4C pedagogy and was appointed as a practice mentor at East China Normal University. After relocating to the UK, he completed a PGCE programme and obtained Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), further deepening his understanding of British schooling. Now based in London, he continues to explore how philosophy and nature-based learning can support children’s thinking, language, and social development in cross-cultural contexts.

At Inchwise Education, Dr Yan leads on practice design and programme delivery. He sees himself as a translator between vision and reality—someone who helps turn abstract ideas into living, breathing learning experiences. His work is grounded in the belief that children grow best not through pressure, but through wonder, dialogue, and relationship.
