We are pleased to announce that the research project of doctoral student of the Doctoral School of Humanities and Social Sciences in the field of pedagogy - Mr. Jakub Niewiński - entitled "The use of CLARIN-PL tools and resources to study intercultural sensitivity of young people from Poland and Ukraine in diverse educational environments" under the supervision of Dr. hab. Ewa Pasterniak-Kobyłecka, a professor at UZ, has obtained second place in the national CLARIN-PL competition for doctoral students and young scientists for the best research work in the field of humanities and social sciences.
The CLARIN-PL consortium is part of the CLARIN - Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure research infrastructure in Europe. The prize in the competition is awarded by a commission composed of scientists from the Jagiellonian University, University of Warsaw, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, University of Silesia, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Jakub Niewiński's scientific research also received financial support in the framework of a national competition to fund initiatives for dialogue between Poles and Eastern European nations - implemented by the Juliusz Mieroszewski Dialogue Center.
It is worth noting that this summer the doctoral student participated in four international seminars: in New York ("Teaching in Troubled Times"), in Jerusalem (International School for Holocaust Studies of Yad Vashem), in Ireland (University of Limerick, with a presentation on Refugees - my Neighbors: Intercultural Communication challenges), and in Washington (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum).
Additionally, together with Dr. hab. Ewa Pasterniak-Kobyłecka, a professor at UZ, they run the scientific circle "In Dialogue". In this academic year, they plan further educational activities to strengthen intercultural sensitivity. These will include, for example, a study visit to the Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN, organizing an exhibition "They Were Neighbors" (in cooperation with the Galicia Jewish Museum), and a Polish-German project in Oświęcim as part of the "Preserving Memory" program. Individuals interested in cooperation are warmly invited to contact us.
