What happened to the Hundred Acre Wood after one hundred years?
And what do droughts, floods, disappearing bees, and… our everyday decisions have to do with it?
We highly recommend this remarkable book created by a member of LBM UW together with Piotr Welek. “The Hundred Acre Wood After One Hundred Years” is a story for both younger and older readers about climate change, agency, and how local actions can make a difference.
Most Poles expect clear restrictions on social media – both for adults and for children.
A nationwide CATI survey conducted this April by the Laboratory of Media Studies at the University of Warsaw and the Institute of Journalism, Media and Social Communication at the Jagiellonian University shows that more than three quarters of respondents support fines for public humiliation online, more than half want the minimum age for creating a social media account to be raised to at least 16, and 62% would support a ban on smartphone use in schools at least during lessons. Poles also call for regulation of so-called sharenting – parents publishing images of their children online.
