2019 Korczak Summer Institute
From July 2–11, 2019, the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Education, in co-operation with the
Janusz Korczak Association of Canada, will present the first Janusz Korczak Summer Institute. The
institute welcomes pre-service and practicing teachers, social workers, and other professionals
committed to the rights and welfare of youth. Successful completion of the institute can earn credit for
degree completion, advancement on pay grids and fulfillment of continuing professional licensure
requirements for various regulated professions.
The institute is designed to help educators:
• transform classrooms to model democratic principles
pioneered by Korczak in his writings, pedagogy, and
governance of the orphanages under his care
• adopt strategies to translate the respect for children’s
rights into school practices, including communication
with parents and the larger school community
• engage in an interdisciplinary inquiry that will integrate
insights from social paediatrics, nutrition, and the legal
foundation of protecting children with innovative
approaches to classroom management and ideas for
extracurricular activities
• develop necessary skills to increase and enrich
communications with students to help them advance
their communication competencies
• discover Korczak-inspired modern pedagogical approaches to support students’ social-emotional
health and development of personal and social responsibility
• learn how to help children in developing and sustaining their cultural identity, particularly among
those who may struggle with multiple identities.
The institute is available for both credit and non-credit options, depending upon individual needs. For
more information about the 2019 Korczak Summer Institute.
When: Tuesday, July 2 to Thursday, July 11, 2019. No classes Saturday and Sunday.
