Abstract
The article discusses the image of the patriotic attitude, as well as the ways of presenting the representatives of various cultures emerging from contemporary Polish children’s songs. As a result of the qualitative analysis of the texts and recordings, the author reconstructed the models of patriotism promoted by the songs addressed to children, especially the so called “symbolic patriotism”, aimed only at awakening emotional attachment to the motherland, and not at actual commitment to work for its benefit. The presented research also shows that only a few children’s songs promote an inclusive attitude towards foreigners, and the information about them contained in the songs often reflects harmful stereotypes.
