Summary/Abstract: In the period 14–18th of August 2017 we organized Philosophy for children sessions at the “Tree of Life” Family Assistance Association in Cluj. During the first four days the activities took place at the Association’s headquarters and on the last day (18th of August) in the Cluj’s Central Park, during the Hungarian Cultural Days in Cluj. We talked about environmental philosophy topics with children and young people aged 5–16 years starting with the story of The Giving Tree. On 21st of September, we organized similar activities with 12th-grade high school students at the Böhm Károly Hall of the Hungarian Philosophy Department of Babeş-Bolyai University, , during the event called The Long Weekend of High School Students. The study presents the preparation, development and conclusions of these activities.
