https://doi.org/10.4467/20843968ZP.23.007.19077Solidarity as a polysemous (ambiguous) concept is a multicultural or supra-cultural value rooted in ethics all over the world. It refers primarily to human community life and the universal tendency to support each other in dangerous situations, a tendency that is written in our genes. This concept is currently experiencing a renaissance, appearing in new areas of human life, e.g. in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic, climate disasters, the war in Ukraine; in scientific research; in new technologies (artificial intelligence); or in microbiology – where it is solidarity discovered in the natural world (e.g. the world of fungi), and thus also an introduction to the synonyms of solidarity and the concept of symbiosis. The concept of solidarity includes the obligation to care for those in need and the responsibility to continue living in the „global village“ as an expression of solidarity with future generations.

Monitoring and Evaluation in the Research on Human Rights Awareness in Schools
The awareness of human rights in Poland leaves a lot to be desired. Poland’s international obligations concerning human rights education should be subject to control. In this connection, monitoring and evaluation could prove very helpful. Within the last twenty years, monitoring has been used many times when rasing the issue of human rights with regard to various fields of life in Poland. At the same time, evaluation has been neglected as a form of control allowing to asses the standards of human rights protection in the country.
