In today's world, social activity is an extremely important element in the process of building a civil society and social capital. Moreover, apart from activities for the common good, this aspect is a key element of personal development, allowing even to gain highly-valued experience in the labor market. Considering the age, lifestyle and educational capital of university students. it can be assumed that this group may be characterized by a high level of activity in the social field. However, numerous analyz-es carried out by research institutions indicate a low level of this activity among the university students. The article is an attempt to verify the above thesis based on studies carried out among students of the Marie Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. In the assumption, the article points to: diagnosis of the tendency of students to undertake social activities; assessment of the values that determine pro-social and "pro-civil" attitudes, which constitute a barrier to the development of this field; and draws attention to the activi-ties that prevail, and which become marginalized.

The article deals with scientific and applied topicality of studying the problem of children and youth social activity. Spheres of social activity display in European tradition, in particular, the European Charter, Great Britain, have been revealed. Comparative analysis of understanding the essence of such a phenomenon in Western theories and scientific pedagogical thought in Russia has been given. The changes occurred in the context of the analysis of the notion during last decades and connected with the development of volunteering, motivation and forms of youth services have been emphasized. The most important tasks in developing social activity of Russian youth have been stated. Different scientific approaches to studying the notion of “social activity” enriching its characteristics have been analyzed. Based on the analysis of results on the organized events the drawbacks, neglects and causes of poor quality of working on the development of youth social activity have been shown. The experience in choosing activities and technologies demonstrated by teachers and pupils from different regions of Russia has been presented. Theoretical analysis of foreign and domestic experience in education has enabled to offer suggestions for the expansion of pupils and students’ social activity in the frame of different models presenting a wide scope for mastering and developing social competency of children and youth. These models have become the foundation for creating a general algorithm for the expansion of children and youth social activity. Pedagogical conditions and perspective directions for solving the problem of social activity development have been outlined in the article.

The purpose of this article is to present the social activity of the Polish diaspora in Great Britain in the second half of the 20th century where after the end of World War II, thousands of Poles had settled. For many of them social and charity work became a mission. The article presents most of the organizations established just after the end of the warfare and widely discusses charitable foundations that have been in operation since the 1980s, offering their help to those who fell victims of the political and economic system in Poland and beyond its eastern border. Material and moral help provided by Polish emigration in the United Kingdom was much needed by Poles in Poland and by Poles still living in the countries of the former Soviet Union.

The social activity of young people is essential for the development of their participation in the social life. It’s conditioned, inter alia, by educational measures directed at stimulating the behaviour of the young people, strengthening their sense of consciousness and responsible influence on the environment. The article presents a deeper insight into the mutual dependence between the individual’s sense of agency (and thus the subject’s belief in his/her ability to influence the reality) and his social activity (understood as the readiness to act for the benefit of others). They are not meaningless for building the social capital of the young generation, which in the near future will be responsible for the fate of the world. One of the analytic categories used to consider the presented issues is the construct of pro-development orientation, the constructive features of which include both trust in others and the world, as well as a sense of agency.

In the article prepared on the basis of the analysis of “family stories” various forms of women’s presence in the public sphere of small local communities are discussed. Principal conclusions of those analyses concern: 1) culturally conditioned tendencies to masculinize the “public” family history; 2) a necessity to take into account different forms of non formalized activities when researching women’s activity in the public sphere; 3) a need to modify research tools applied for the analysis of women’s civic activity; 4) the postulate to take into account the concept of endogenous development in social programmes concerning the activization of women.

Hope is a significant element of human life. It is very hard to build our everyday life without hope for a better tomorrow. This article presents psychology of hope in Irena Sendlerowa’s social activity which saved about 2500 Jewish children during the Second World War (1939–1945) consists of an introduction, two points which present following issues: in the first point, according to the structure of hope by Józef Kozielecki, there are some elements presented that create active hope: cognitive, emotional, temporal, affiliative, agency. These elements have been faced with life and activities of Irena Sendlerowa. In the second perspective the sources of Irena Sendlerowa’s hope are described: 1. childhood experiences, especially the beauty of family house atmosphere where openness of heart to another human being was visible in particular to people in need. 2. Irena Sendlerowa’s self-confidence not overconfidence had an essential influence and translation into the success of taking actions. 3. belief which has never been expressed by Sendlerowa, although we still can assume that she was a strength, silent support for her actions which can be proved by her own words: “One day I found a small damaged picture with the inscription Jesus, I trust in You! I hid it and had it all the time with me” (Mieszkowska, 2005, s. 200). It is undeniable that Irena Sendlerowa can be a remarkable example how crucial the role of hope is in human life and how much people can do if they live in hope every day.

The aim of the article is to present the concept of the sense of communication subjectivity from the perspective of its usefulness in research on media competences. The author discusses theoretical aspects of human subjectivity connected with communication activity referring to the literature in the field of political science, sociology, and psychology. She constructs a model of the sense of communication subjectivity based on available theories, then she verifies it in the questionnaire research on the relationship between the sense of communication subjectivity and social activity in territorial selfgovernments of the Śląskie Voivodeship. The results of the survey confirm the research hypothesis, according to which social activity is associated with a sense of communication subjectivity. Apart from the conclusions provided by the survey, the author formulates the proposal of further use of the concept in research on communication in various social situations, especially those involving asymmetric communication, for example, in work environment, health care, education, etc.

Public administration is also asocial phenomenon. Performing of public tasks is asocial activity. They may take the form of purposefully rational and valuably rational activities. Entrusting public tasks to non-public entities should be primarily seen as avaluably rational activity. Fundamental value is the public interest.

The article deals with the issue of historical research on social activities. This research is a part of the field of scientific activity of Polish social pedagogy, whose creator was Helena Radlińska. This researcher has developed a method of historical research for social pedagogues. It is worthwhile to use this methodological approach in modern scientific research from social pedagogy. Their effects will serve to restore the truth about the past of social activity and its representatives, their scientific and practical achievements. On the other hand, the effects of this research will serve as a signpost for those seeking new solutions for the practice of social activity in the present and future. For social pedagogues, historical research will also be an opportunity to shape their own disciplinary identity.

Child migrants are one of the risk factors of the modern education system in Russia. In addition to the potential problems associated with the cultural differences between the indigenous population and migrants, there is also the problem of “closed” migrants. Often migrants and their families, including secondand third-generation migrants, form isolated communities within which the adaptation and socialization of new migrants and the generation of youth takes place. On the one hand, these groups play the role of “softadaptation”, when migrants and their children are offered the tested models of behavior in the new conditions of life. On the other hand, not all the models proposed by the group can be acceptable by the traditions of the indigenous population, and sometimes they are opposed to the culture and traditions of the host country. Moreover, the views accepted in the group can cause morbid socialization of migrants. Under these conditions, the school has a task of preventing the negative impact of the isolated national groups on the younger generation. The purpose of the study is to analyze the account of migrant children in social networks in order to identify signs of socio-psychological and cultural adaptation, to determine the influence of national groups and communities in social networks on the formation of a person’s personality. The paper covers the reactions of children to publications on the topic of interethnic communication. It also includes recommendations to teachers on the definition of exposure to the influence of groups and communities in the social networks of migrant children.

Contemporary researchers of local communities and human societies face a new and difficult task today. It is, on the one hand, related to the great interest in this topic and the difficulty of creating a new concept that would fully exhaust the scope of phenomena observed presently in local communities and human societies. On the other hand, the character of changes that have gained momentum in the first decade of the 21st century, and the description of their sources, become particularly difficult to describe and name. The present article is an attempt at an indication of the need of an evolution of perception on societal reality and the emerging new social issues. Contemporary paedagogy attempts to write about the necessity of awareness/ education related to the needs of establishment of local communities and the creation of bonds as a response to processes related to social life in times of globalisation. It is a fact that we are presently dealing with a change in the forms and character of local communities.

Objectives The aim of the study is to describe both professional and social activities of patients after heart transplant. Material and Methods Ninety-five heart transplant patients treated at the Silesian Center for Heart Diseases in Zabrze were surveyed, comprising 29 women (30.5%) and 66 men (69.5%). The average age of respondents was 54.3 years old (standard deviation (SD) = 15 years); the average period that had elapsed since the heart transplant was 7.1 years (SD = 4 years). We designed a questionnaire as a tool for collecting information from patients. Results Twenty-five percent of patients worked at the time of completion of the questionnaire. Eighty percent of those patients were working before and after the transplant, 20% – only after transplantation (p < 0.05). A different job position at a new workplace had 47.8% of patients, 34.8% of them had the same job position at the same work place as they had had before, 63.4% of the heart transplant respondents were pensioners. Eighty-two percent of patients had a certificate with a designated degree of disability – among them: 69% had a certificate for a significant degree of disability, 22% – for a moderate degree of disability. Among those surveyed, 52.5% said that their financial situation had not changed whereas 34.5% of those surveyed reported a change for the worse. Thirty-seven percent of respondents reported changes in family relationships. Seventy-seven percent reported that they received help from family members, as compared with 19% who did not. Conclusions Only 25.3% of the patients treated at the Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases after heart transplant are employed and it is one of the lowest employment rates in this category of patients in Europe. One third of working patients have the same work place as they had before their operation. Heart transplant is a cause of changes in family relationships. Most often family bonds are strengthened but sometimes family members become nervous, impatient and unwilling to talk about the transplant.

Spółdzielnie socjalne mające za zadanie reintegrację społeczną i zawodową osób zagrożonych wykluczeniem społecznym stanowią ważny instrument polityki rynku pracy. W Polsce brakuje jednak kompleksowej i pogłębionej wiedzy o tych podmiotach i ich działalności. Wypełniając tę lukę, w 2011 r. na zlecenie Departamentu Pożytku Publicznego Ministerstwa Pracy i Polityki Społecznej zostało przeprowadzone ogólnopolskie badanie pod nazwą „Monitoring Spółdzielni Socjalnych” – mające na celu przybliżenie problemów środowiska spółdzielców socjalnych. Bazując na zgromadzonych danych, w artykule prezentujemy wybrane aspekty działalności tych podmiotów. Następnie, na podstawie informacji o aktywności gospodarczej i społecznej wyróżniamy cztery typy spółdzielni socjalnych. Opisując ich sytuację w wybranych wymiarach, określamy niektóre uwarunkowania kształtujące styl działania, wskazując jednocześnie na potencjalne czynniki mogące stanowić bariery w prawidłowym wypełnianiu zadań gospodarczych i społecznych spółdzielni socjalnych w Polsce.

Social co-operatives, acting in order to reintegrate socially and vocationally people threatened with exclusion, constitutes an important instrument of labour market policy. However it needs to be stressed that there is no deepened information about the situation of such entities and their activities. Filling that gap, in 2011, upon the commitment of Department of the Social Use in the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, the cross-Polish research “monitoring of Social Co-operatives” was carried out. It aims to identify the problems the social-co-operatives struggle with. On the base of gathered data, the article presents selected aspects of functioning if those entities. Then, on the basis of information about the economic and social activities, there are four groups of entities. Describing their situation in selected dimensions we defi ne some pre-conditions, infl uencing the style of activities, presenting simultaneously potential factors which can become barriers for adequate social and economic tasks execution by social co-operatives in Poland.

Proces starzenia się organizmu doprowadza do zmian w trzech głównych płaszczyznach: biologicznej, psychologicznej i społecznej. Ponieważ zmian tych nie można zatrzymać pozostaje nam tylko skuteczne spowolnienie tychże procesów. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie roli, jaką u osób w wieku starszym odgrywa aktywność ruchowa i intelektualna oraz prezentacja działań i sposobów podtrzymujących sprawność fzyczną i umysłową. Niezwykle ważne jest zwrócenie uwagi na konieczność i umiejętność motywacji tychże osób do podejmowania aktywności. niezbędne jest także podkreślenie potrzeby współpracy całego zespołu medycznego z członkami rodziny i opiekunami w domach opieki w ramach programu proflaktyki i fzjoterapii osób starszych oraz podjęcie działań mających na celu ponowne włączenie tej grupy do życia społecznego. Bezsprzecznie stwierdza się, iż istnieje ogromna potrzeba fzjoterapii osób starszych, jednak najważniejsze i najtrudniejsze jest uświadomienie i zachęcenie ich do podjęcia działań zmierzających do poprawy sprawności fzycznej, psychologicznej i społecznej. Seniorów, którzy już się poddali i zrezygnowali można na nowo pobudzić do działania. Bodźcem do zmian może być obcowanie z miłym, ciepłym, kojącym, relaksującym dotykiem o uzdrawiającej mocy. Żyjemy w społeczeństwie szybko starzejącym się i powinniśmy wszelkie działania zawodowe oraz nasz rozwój skierować na tę właśnie grupę. należy uzmysłowić sobie, że starość to przyszłość.

The process of aging in humans leads to the changes in three main aspects such as biological, mental and social. as the changes cannot be stopped, we might only slow down the processes. This article aims to present the role of physical and intellectual activity in the elderly age and the actions which might help to maintain people’s physical and mental efciency. one of the most essential aspects is to pay special attention to the necessity and ability to motivate the elderly to undertake the activity. It is also indispensible to underline the need of cooperation of the whole health care team with the members of the patient’s family and caretakers in the rest homes within physiotherapeutic and prophylaxis programs. Finally, the steps must be taken to help the elderly rejoin the social life. It is unquestionable that there is a necessity for physiotherapy in the elderly age, however, the most essential and difcult at the same time is making the people realize and encouraging them to undertake actions to improve their physical, mental and social abilities. The people who have already given up or resigned from active life, might be impelled to action again. The stimuli for a change might be a nice, warm, soothing and relaxing touch of a healing power. We have been living in the fast aging society and, therefore, our professional actions and the development ought to be directed at this social group. we have to be aware of the fact that the elderly is the future.

Znamienną cechą Polski jest niski poziom aktywności społecznej we wszystkich analizowanych wymiarach. Choć przeważają postawy bierne, od kilku lat dostrzega się również enklawy obywatelskiego zaangażowania. Można wskazać dziedziny, w których Polacy najchętniej przejawiają inicjatywę, poświęcając wolny czas na pracę społeczną. Oprócz tego da się wyróżnić najbardziej aktywne grupy społeczne. W niniejszym artykule została przeanalizowana aktywność społeczna mieszkańców Łodzi w dwóch wybranych wymiarach: działań na rzecz swojej społeczności i udziału w organizacjach obywatelskich. Starano się odpowiedzieć na pytanie o poziom aktywności łodzian, a także ustalić korelaty wyżej wymienionych wymiarów. W analizie uwarunkowań aktywności społecznej uwzględniono następujące zmienne niezależne: płeć, wiek, zawód, wykształcenie i dochód.

A low level of social activity in all dimensions is a characteristic feature of Poland. However, some enclaves of social activity do exist: there are fields of social life in which Poles are more active and devote more spare time to them; we can also distinguish active social groups. The article is an attempt to analyze social activity of Lodz citizens in the following dimensions: the participation in community activities and the participation in non-governmental organizations. The authors try to indicate the level of social activity of Lodz residents and the correlates of the analyzed dimensions of civic activity. Sex, age, profession and income are analyzed as independent variables.
