On 8 and 9 March 2011 a seminar was held in Lublin entitled 'How can teachers be helped in transmitting values to young people?'

This nationwide event was attended by scholars from various fields, including linguists, literary scholars, educationalists, historians and sociologists, representing various research centres, who in their everyday research deal with the issue of values and ascribing value in different areas of the humanities. The meeting was intended to provide a platform of dialogue for all those concerned with the education of young people, respect for individual values or consensus on matters of ascribing value, regardless of their political views, religious beliefs or outlook on life.

The seminar was organised under the honorary patronage of Genowefa Tokarska, Governor of the Lublin Region, Fr Stanislaw Wilk, Rector of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL) and Krzysztof Babisz, Education Superintendent for Lublin.

The seminar was held in the conference rooms of the Victoria Hotel.

The co-organisers of the seminar are the Educational Research Institute, KUL Polish Literature and Language Department, KUL School Education and Teaching Department and Lublin Municipal Office Department of Culture.

The seminar is part of the series 'Research in Educational Policy'.
