The world of education has changed. Information is available anywhere and at any time. It can be daunting to understand and assess it and to distinguish a hoax from objective reality. The training of future teachers at universities needs to be changed so that a graduate from a Faculty of Education will become a professional capable of teaching others how to learn. Teachers can no longer only transmit information and evaluate how students acquire it. They should make learning meaningful and guide learners toward critical thinking. The underlying assumption is that they themselves can think critically. The aim of the study is to compare the level of critical thinking in university students between two generations of students, Generation Y (Millennials) and Generation Z (the iGeneration).
The aim of the article is to answer the following research question: Through what activities does the Stocznia Foundation ensure involvement of and support to children and youth? The analysis was performed on the basis of theoretical and empirical knowledge. Areas were indicated in which the support of the young generation by NGOs was most often noted as part of activities for local communities. In this aspect, types of assistance were listed, such as: shaping the attitudes of youth, learning soft skills in relations with other people in the decision-making process, social directions of development of children and youth, and assistance in gaining visibility of the realized projects. Apart from that, the positions of the authors of the Equal Opportunities project are based on 20 years of work. The Foundation focuses its activities on the provision of services in the areas that favor building a conscious and safe society through the active involvement of the young ones in efforts for the common good.
Sustainable Development (SD) is one of today’s most often discussed issues. It refers living to in harmony with the natural environment as well as with the responsibility for the fate of future generations. The international community makes an effort to teach institutions, organizations and individuals how disastrous their activity can be for the environment. In particular universities, qualified to promote knowledge and to build a sensible society, are under obligation to disseminate the right ideas. They should teach how to manage the environment in the right way and how to manage organizations according to SD. Finally, they have to undertake work, even if such activity encounters resistance. Working in respect to the natural environment seems to be the only admissible direction of further development.
