In the context of current global crises (migratory, and military) as well as the growing phenomenon of child brutality (manifesting, for example, in violent incidents in schools), it is becoming increasingly evident that education has diverged from one of its fundamental purposes: the cultivation of humanity. This article contributes to the ongoing debate by analysing the relationship between participation in humanities-oriented leisure activities and individual value preferences, based on data from a 2024 survey conducted on a representative sample of 1,873 respondents in the Czech Republic. The analysis showed no statistically significant gender or age differences in participation when using a narrow definition of humanities-related leisure activities, whereas a broader definition revealed a strong gender imbalance favouring women. Significant differences were also found by educational attainment, with higher education levels associated with greater participation in both core and expanded humanities activities. The study also identified marked differences in value preferences between respondents who engage in humanities-oriented leisure activities (in both narrow and broad definitions) and those who do not. The findings suggest that engagement in such activities can meaningfully support the development of personal values and, in doing so, foster a renewed pedagogical humanisation with the potential to shape individuals toward humanity, peace, justice, and responsibility within a democratic society of the 21st century.
