The Rector of the Maria Grzegorzewska University and the Janusz Korczak UNESCO Chair Committee decided to award Prof. Mahesh TS with the Janusz Korczak Prize for Global South 2021 in the Distinguished Scholar Category. The prize is in recognition of Professor’s contribution to development of novel approaches to traditional Ayurveda Medicine and Philosophy in contemporary socio-educational contexts. The decision is supported by the evidence of multiple scientific publications in the field of education within the UNESCO Janusz Korczak Chair. Mr Stephen Okpadah is a lecturer at the Arts Department at Bowen University, Nigeria who pursues a PhD at Warwick University in the UK. His award is in the emerging scholar category in recognition of multiple scientific publications within the UNESCO Janusz Korczak Chair. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Inspirator Foundation, who is the co-funder of the awards this year.
