Abstract
The text elaborates on the possibilities of philosophical reflection on the educational role of storytelling, especially regarding the issues of disrespect, misuse, and violation of human rights. Storytelling as an educational activity could be directed towards raising students’ awareness regarding different phenomena that corrupt human rights and moral in society. Stories – which can serve as an important source for understanding the context surrounding the imagined or real-life situations of human rights violation – should be examined with a critical distance and compassion in order to develop the sense of personal and social responsibility regarding the respect of human rights.
