The European Janusz Korchak Academy is an educational institution that strives to follow in Janusz Korczak's footsteps. Its goal is to pose questions and seek answers that mobilize the individual, the family and society as a whole and give them a voice in their own affairs as Janusz Korczak wished. The approach is tiqqun olam (hebr. תיקון עולם) “repairing the world“ through education and training.
The European Janusz Korczak Academy is a Jewish initiative founded in 2009 which is open to all sectors of society. Its goal is to strengthen the Jewish community, to open it to the world and dispel prejudices and preconceptions on all sides.
The Academy's program is based on practical training and education – both formal and informal. It seeks and supports education that looks for the human side of those we encounter face-to-face. Both person to person contact and pan-European exchange are part of its program. The Academy offers family programs, seminars and pilot projects with scientific and humanitarian goals. Guests are invited to share their knowledge and provide material for discussion . Children's rights and human rights remain our central concern.
