Special Issue working title:
Korczak’s legacy, humanity, and education for peace
The special issue will mark the 20th anniversary of the UNESCO Janusz Korczak Chair est. at Maria
Grzegorzewska University in 2004.
Let us not repeat the sad history of our nations. Let us learn from the past. Let us return peace and
prosperity in our regions. Educators, social activists, and Korczakians have the tools and experience
to advocate for the world’s peace and prosperity and to show evidence-based case studies to the
stakeholders to create true change in our communities.
We ask for articles based on Korczak’s philosophy and contributions related to pedagogical praxis in
education for peace. We aim to seek peace and how pedagogy may evoke the humanity, empathy
and compassion, required to build strong, inclusive communities, and to foster the agents of a better
world. Comments on the current geopolitical situation are welcomed but please try to be respectful
and provide a balanced view.
Please note that the Journal is not able to process any submissions from the Russian Federation as
currently, all academic exchanges in Poland are frozen and not permissible while the war in Ukraine
continues. Submissions from scholars affiliated with Russian institutions will not be considered for
publication. Although it stands in opposition to our inclusion policy it is a necessary act of solidarity
with the victims of the war.
