Is it worthwhile today to draw on the pedagogical experiences of Janusz Korczak? What is civic attitude and how should we develop it? We invite you to a lecture accompanying the exhibition In King Matt’s Poland delivered by Marta Ciesielska from the Korczakianum branch of the Museum of Warsaw.
- 17 January (Thursday), 6 PM, free admission
Janusz Korczak, active participant of emancipatory and reform movements of the early twentieth century, considered „civic attitude” of the youngest citizens as a vital element of the struggle for their rights and new social status. He relentlessly promoted and implemented the idea: “A child—already a resident, a citizen and a human being.” Is it worthwhile drawing on these experiences? Are they still inspiring today?
Marta Ciesielska – a curator, documentalist, editor; she coordinates the work of Korczakianum, a branch of the Museum of Warsaw. She has been engaged in scholarly and archival research and projects (publishing, educational and exhibitions) devoted to the biography and heritage of Henryk Goldszmit/Janusz Korczak, as well as the reception of his work and ideas both in Poland and abroad.
