The author of the paper shows how one may reflect on the essence of human rights, through the lens of reporters’ stories, including in particular Ben Rawlence’s book City of Thorns: Nine Lives in the World’s Largest Refugee Camp. The paper encourages one to listen to the voice of refugees and to develop an interest in their lives in order to understand how they define their rights, what they derive them from, and how they judge their observance by the international community. In fact, these deliberations are connected with a problem which is important for contemporary education, namely how to shape a genuinely humanistic attitude among young Poles towards people from different cultures, who are additionally forced to leave their homes.
