COMPLICATED PATHS OF EDUCATION
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

When he was a teenager, there weren\u2019t many signs that prof. Miros\u0142aw Grewi\u0144ski will take the scientific path. He played bass in two rock bands, and one of them, created by his older
\nbrother – Tomasz Grewi\u0144ski (currently co-owner of Kayax), was awarded by prestige Polish music award \u201eFryderyk\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2013 After elementary school I made a choice to go to Railway\u00a0<\/em>Technical School for telecommunications kinda by accident.\u00a0<\/em>I quickly realized I\u2019m more of humanist than a person with\u00a0<\/em>technical interests \u2013 I have had the best grades from humanities:\u00a0<\/em>Polish language, history also foreign languages<\/em> \u2013 recalls prof. Grewi\u0144ski \u2013 Since the beggining I engaged myself in the\u00a0<\/em>half professional theatre in my school, which was leaded by\u00a0<\/em>charismatic Ryszard Jakubsiak, who was later Artistic Director\u00a0<\/em>of Studio Theater and Powszechny Theater.<\/em> He used those experiences later whilst being a musician and lecturer. His adventure with music and theater lasted for ten years. With Ahimsa and Houk bands he recorded few albums and played several hundred concerts in fifteen different countries. After that he started studies.<\/p>\n

During choosing his own path in education professor Miros\u0142aw Grewi\u0144ski studied at The Institute of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw, then social policy at Faculty of Political Science and International Studies of University of Warsaw (formerly called the Faculty of Journalism and Political Science). While being on his fourth year of studies he went on a scholarship to Germany to University of Konstanz, and then to Dresden.<\/p>\n

THE ROAD TO SOCIAL POLICY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 During my scholarship I collected materials for my doctorate.\u00a0<\/em>After coming back do Poland I worked for my dissertation for\u00a0<\/em>two years. At that time I already had interest in political and\u00a0<\/em>social topics<\/em> \u2013 he says. His master degree paper was about the EU structural funds, then he continues this subject in his doctorate titled: European Social Fund as structural support instrument for social policy of European Union on the example of Germany. His habilitation was about multi-sectoral social policy of welfare states. He created in his paper a model of multi-sectorial social policy which is called \u201eDaisy of welfare\u201d. Afromentioned \u201eDaisy of welfare\u201d is on the book cover \u201eMulti-sectoral social policy. The transformations of the welfare state \u201d published in 2009 by Miros\u0142aw Grewi\u0144ski. After that he engaged in different scientific projects, for example analysis of disabled people problem and thoughts on how to improve their social situation. He wrote about
\nthose subjects in co-written book: \u201eSocial services for disabled people \u2013 international experiences\u201d published by Janusz Korczak Pedagogical University in Warsaw in 2014 year.<\/p>\n

In Janusz Korczak Pedagogical University in Warsaw Miros\u0142aw Grewi\u0144ski teach classes since 1999 year. His lectures are focused on social policy divided into sectors: EU, social,
\nlocal government, mutli-sectoral, job market, social welfare system, management of social services. He also lectures about leadership in social activity. Apart from his lectures as a vice-rector his is also responsible for EU projects: currently the school realizes 10 national projects and 5 international interuniversity projects. Moreover, as a vice-rector he also organizes and supervises the teaching process.<\/p>\n

\u2013 This year we celebrate 25th anniversary of Korczak University,\u00a0<\/em>which was founded years ago by professor Julian Auleytner\u00a0<\/em>and it is also a good year for us because of the increase\u00a0<\/em>in the number of candidates. In some departments there are\u00a0<\/em>even twice as many candidates then in the previous years, for\u00a0<\/em>example for education in Warsaw or social work in Katowice.\u00a0<\/em>Four years ago we created at the Korczak University Warsaw\u00a0<\/em>Korczak\u2019s Dream School (elementary school) which is developing\u00a0<\/em>great so we decided to open similar one in Olsztyn. Janusz\u00a0<\/em>Korczak Pedagogical University is distinguished among others\u00a0<\/em>because beside the traditional form of teaching we also use\u00a0<\/em>method and techniques of distance education. The so called\u00a0<\/em>e-learning includes lectures, exercises and exams. Our rector l<\/em>iked this system, which was firstly used in Australia. On the\u00a0<\/em>e-learning platform every students presence, log in, time duration\u00a0<\/em>of stay logged in and also completed tasks are noted.<\/em>
\nKorczak University received 9 mln PLN for the application\u00a0<\/em>from EU Funds. Part of lectures, especially for postgraduate,\u00a0<\/em>are in english language. In this University also work well the\u00a0<\/em>exchange of students within Erasmus Program. Many students\u00a0<\/em>from abroad, Spain or Turkey for example, study there.<\/em><\/p>\n

PLANS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 I wish to finish my book next year, in which i\u2019m writing\u00a0<\/em>about social services in social policy. It is kinda different way\u00a0<\/em>to understand social policy, not only as a social security system\u00a0<\/em>but also as an investment and development policy.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vice-rector\u2019s plans are related to the development of Korczak University \u2013 the school wants to link University with external entities giving the possibility of dual studies in cooperation with business. University also wants to create a platform for intersectoral cooperation \u2013 from union with the social and economic environment to internationalization. These steps
\nare essential for creating University 3.0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
