Summary/Abstract: The title of my article refers to the concept of Social Responsibility of Universities. Solidarity in thinking, ultimately humanistic, based on caring for others and being interested in their lives, is becoming crucial in education. It is the school, and especially Polish language classes that should provide a general framework for permanent debate on social issues that are filled with solidarity and empathy. That is why I decided to reflect on a series of publications that could perfectly fill the gap and provide relevant, up-to-date, multinational, civic-minded texts. Out of a myriad of excellent reporters rated for their social responsibility, I selected four titles that can be discussed in Polish secondary school with respect to both global and national problems.
