The authoress makes an attempt to present some elements of the documents that determine the shape of the Voluntary Labor Corps for Youngsters, and the events during which the employees of the local subsidiaries, like the Youth Career Centers, have redefined those elements. Moreover, the she tried to determine redefining strategies adopted during the process, which included the strategies of emphasizing, rewarding, camouflage and dramaturgic rationality. All this took place at an organizational meeting and during the opening ceremony of a subsidiary, which the authoress attended as a part of the research activities. These issues are important due to the fact that they present a fragment of organizational reality of the Voluntary Labor Corps - an institution that is currently undergoing some interesting changes within its organizational structure. In the paper, the authoress invokes the metaphor of the theatre used as a research perspective in order to facilitate the text and stress the dramaturgic dimension of counseling in case of the Voluntary Labor Corps.

The purpose of the article is to present a fragment of organizational reality as observed in the course of the research carried out during the ceremony of bidding farewell to a dismissed chief, who, for many years, had been at the helm of one the Voluntary Labour Corps (VLC) training centres. The authoress refers to the metaphor of a theatre in order to present this event as an example of changes taking place in the organization. For the sake of the paper, the depicted ceremony has been divided into two parts. The first one has been referred to as 'acts', and they are as follows: act 1 - preparations for the ceremonial farewell to the dismissed chief; act 2 - the official part of the ceremony; act 3 - collective celebration. The second part presents the strategies adopted to cope with the organizational changes. The labour community experiencing the changes within their organization constructed the social event to manifest their collective discontent at the ongoing alterations. The spectacle 'Bidding Farewell to the Hero' was constructed by adopting the coping strategies such as: dramatic co-operation, concealing embarrassment, placing one's trust in a role, backing practices and awarding the role of a hero to bureaucracy.

The report presents the events of the 12th Summer School for Young Researchers on Adult Education (XII LSMA), held at the University of Zielona Gora. This annual occasion offers young academics an excellent opportunity to meet recognised authorities in the world of social sciences, as well as share their own experiences and achievements in the field of research and teaching work. In order to depart from the traditional formula of reporting, the authoress made an attempt to present the events that had taken place in Zielona Gora by employing Piotr Sztompka's seven perspectives of analyzing the society. They could serve as the 'sociological lenses' that provide reflection on the community of the School participants. This instrument made it possible to grasp the complexity of the XII LSMA community by highlighting its demographic diversity, the network of bonds linking the participants, along with the roles they assumed and played. The concept also enabled to identify the particular structure of the network, fuelled by participants' interactions, which were regulated by the culture of young scholars. Finally, it allowed to discern the social territory filled with the practices undertaken during the andragogic meetings, which changed the participants and shaped them before the next Summer School.

The paper attempts to outline social changes in vocational counseling that take place in the Voluntary Labour Corps (VLC). The analysis of records concerning the activities undertaken by the VLC has provided the basis for the research. The authoress' reflections draw on Piotr Sztompka's Theory of Social Becoming. Social changes in the VLC take shape of twofold transformations. First, the VLC transforms from a homogeneous system that reproduces a certain social order into an organization that aims at being a flexible system, within the frames of which, in the process of emergence, the quality of social life may improve. Secondly, the VLC, treated as a state tool to realise the idea of raising socially useful citizens, transforms into the VLC which would serve the good of individuals - that is Polish citizens and the EU members. This transformation is an ongoing process, which aspires to be in accordance with the guidelines set within the strategy for the VLC for the years 2003-2010.
