The second publication in the EEA-project: Edu-Action 2020-2021: «Nurturing Excellence»

"To educate does not mean: to trample upon, to maltreat, to repress, to hurry. A child has the right to be who they are” wrote famous Polish educator Janusz Korczak. This thought, and the belief that transcultural education is the key to an harmonious development of a child – forms the background for this publication of nearly 300 pages which is dedicated to and recommended for educators working with children. Ewa Murawska, Ewa Baum,Jørn Schau and Mikolaj Rykowski have been members of the editorial team.

Vice Rector of the Ignacy Jan Paderewski Academy of Music, Mikolaj Rykowski

The release will form the basis for the project's second conference, which will be held in Iceland on March 23rd, and where Jørn Schau, Anne Randi Haugejorden, Robin Rolfhamre and Mariam Kharatyan will participate with presentations on behalf of UiA classical.
