In 2024 our UNESCO Chair named after Janusz Korczak (an important figure on the map of children’s rights in our region) celebrated the 20th anniversary of its operations at the Maria Grzegorzewska University in Warsaw. Dr Korczak was indeed our employee before the Second World War and left a significant mark on our mission and our educational philosophy.  

To denote this special occasion our university Senate decided to organize a special award, a medal for life-long achievements in the field of human rights, children’s rights and education for peace.

Congratulations to Prof. Moshe Shner, Daniel Halperin, Dr Hatem Elabed, Barabara Janina Sochal, Batia Gilad and Jerry Nussbaum.
