Polish schools host debates and lessons on empathy and social relations

Primary schools in Poland are implementing educational initiatives focused on emotional and social competence. In Konin, students at Primary School No. 3 participated in lessons centered on acceptance and the impact of words and gestures. Using the story of a character named Little Spider, the session encouraged students to reflect on the pain of exclusion and the importance of kindness.

In Bełchatów, Primary School No. 8 organized a debate titled ‘The Power of Relationships.’ This event involved students and various specialists, including psychologists, a family curator, police officers, a municipal guard, and a court mediator. The discussion addressed conflict resolution, reacting to hate speech, and the consequences of social exclusion. The program included an interactive film where students made decisions for characters to observe the outcomes of different communication styles.
