The Polish Delegation to UNESCO’s MOST programme (Management of Social Transformations*) organized a special MOST school in Warsaw to address the issue of rising polarization and threats to democratic values.
The MOST school is supported by the network of UNESCO Chairs involved with the DECLARATION on Education for Democracy and Peace that is being ratified during MOST School Events.
The MOST School is organized in cooperation with the Polish Education Research Association and Polish Janusz Korczak Association to mark 20th anniversary of the UNESCO Janusz Korczak Chair in Social Pedagogy and the 35th anniversary of the establishment of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).

*“MOST Schools are capacity-building activities focused on strengthening the competencies for evidence-informed decision-making in Member States. Conceived on the basis of bottom-up demands arising from specific needs in concrete contexts, MOST Schools prioritize interventions to develop the capacity of researchers and decision-makers. Their primary goal is to support long-term sustainable development in contexts where capacity gaps may be a major constraint to transforming research into action. MOST schools leverage the power of context and address concrete problems faced by communities of stakeholders.”
