Janus Korczak and the Children of the Warsaw Ghetto
School Council Pupils and their teachers from Guardian Angels, Mowlem, St Edmunds and St Mary & St Michael attended our event on Restorative Justice and Children's Rights on 20th January.
They found out about Janus Korczak and the Children of the Warsaw Ghetto, in preparation for Holocaust Memorial Day.
Pupils used the Tower Hamlets Town Hall Council Chamber
They learned about Janusz Korczak and his orphanage’s children’s court, then roleplayed a children's court
