On 13th of November 2004 The UNESCO / Janusz Korczak Chair in Social Pedagogy was established at Maria Grzegorzewska University in Warsaw, Poland. The Chair preserves the educational heritage of two important figures Maria Grzegorzewska (1888-1967 advocate for human rights and social inclusion, the founder of the university in 1922), and Janusz Korczak (1878-1942 promotor of children’s rights, the Chair’s patron). The Chair’s activities align with UNESCO’s humanities and social sciences priorities. The Chair is financially supported by the Maria Grzegorzewska University but enjoys academic freedom to create its own goals, aligned with the UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030, especially SDG 4 aimed at ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all, SDG 5 aimed at gender equality and SDG 10 for reducing inequalities. At the heart of the protection and promotion of quality education is the notion of Global Citizenship Education (GCE 4.7), and its three core elements, defined by UNESCO as a shared sense of humanity, respect for diversity, and solidarity. The Chair carries out interdisciplinary research, didactics, and organizational activities defined by Sustainable Development Goals and the issues of social inclusion, social justice, and the striving for equality of opportunity. The research themes include social inclusion, social justice, education, childhood studies, children's rights and human rights, gender equality, sustainable development, cultural diversity and the intercultural and interdisciplinary dimension of socio-pedagogical challenges.
