Przestrzenie obojętności. Literatura i edukacja przeciw pogardzie

Abstract

The article describes important aspects of life that are overlooked in Polish language education: obsolescence, intellectual disability, poverty, and pro-environmental activism. Each of these aspects becomes a reason for exclusion, a pretext for showing contempt. The literature for children and young adults opposes the signs of marginalization of these phenomena. The author reflects on the potential of literary works and the duties of Polish language education in creating an inclusive society and an inclusive school that supports each student and teaches dialogue and problem-solving.
