This issue consists of nine articles, followed by two books reviews. The contributions reveal that the issues of inclusion and exclusion can be analysed in very different contexts of the sports field, with relation to different sports disciplines, and different groups and countries. The authors provide analysis of their own research, analysis of secondary data, as well as theoretical frameworks and a large number of references. The topics raised and case studies analysed are predominantly very recent.

Society and Art have variegated correlative relations in that the artist is, first and foremost, a member of a particular society. As such, his/her creative works are in the main influenced by the events of his/her immediate society or those of the societies that border the artist’s. Consequently, the Nigerian society has undergone different developmental stages, and in each era the fiction of the period reflects the dominant incidences of the period used in the work, no doubt, from the artist’s perception. Thus, throughout the development of the Nigerian society and the accompanying metamorphoses of its fiction, moderation has assumed metaphorical dimensions due to the fact that at every point two divergent views/forces are at “war” (and by decipherable African thought of obtaining peace through compromise) only a middle course can ensure peaceful co-existence. Hence, amidst the gargantuan religious strife in the contemporary Nigerian society Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie seems to have a solution with the suggestion of moderation in her debut narrative, Purple Hibiscus. This paper therefore, uses this novel of Adichie’s as a paradigm for the study of the exalted level to which artists have advanced moderation as a metaphor for the advancement of every society. The myriad vexing religious issues of the Nigerian society Adichie so aptly captures in Purple Hibiscus therefore, receive a treatment that one considers a model which is relevant for any developing society desirous of unity in diversity. null

People with disabilities form a group which is threatened by social exclusion. Social sciences are becoming more and more concerned about social capital issues in terms of creating programmes for social inclusion of various marginalised groups. The paper discusses selected concepts of social capital according to James Coleman, Nan Lin, Francis Fukuyama and Robert D. Putnam. The author of the paper has made a comparative analysis of the results of various authors’ research on the social capital of the non-disabled (fully-fit) and the disabled in terms of: (1) social networks, (2) social trust, (3) compliance with social rules, social exchange and cooperation, (4) communication skills and (5) feeling of physical and mental health. The paper presents argumentation on a macrosystem, mesocosm and microsystem level justifying the need to use social capital as a theoretical support for creating social inclusion network in relation to the disabled. The issue is to leave a charity and paternal model applied in the activities for persons with disabilities and to follow the model of inclusion and participation. The discussion is supplemented by a description of challenges that special education is facing in terms of further research work on social capital.

The article consists of four parts. The first contains the characteristics of communal Strategies for solving social problems. It includes a discussion of the fundamental assumptions and functions of the types of strategies which play a part in social policy – with particular emphasis on the needs and situation of people with disabilities. The second part of study introduces the most important assumptions of the bioecological theory of Urie Bronfenbrenner’s systems. Through the prism of this theory, research material has been collected and ordered. The merits of the study are captured in the part three. In its scope, it includes tabular systems ordered in accordance with the assumptions of the bio-ecological system theory, containing records and the resulting activities implemented by communes for the social inclusion of people with disabilities. The whole text ends with the conclusions presented in the fourth part. The purpose of the study is a qualitative analysis of the Strategy for solving social problems of communes that are part of the Żywiec and Cieszyn counties. It will make it possible to recognize records and the resulting inclusion activities for people with disabilities. The purpose is also to consider these entries based on the bioecological theory of Urie Bronfenbrenner’s systems and recognition what levels distinguished in the theory mentioned above are present in strategies and what actions result from them. This will also allow for partial verification of the role taken by municipalities – the smallest local government units in creating a culture of inclusion and a friendly space for people with disabilities.

The article is focused on the civic practices that fall into the category of social art. Applying sociological perspective, in particular closure theory (as introduced by Max Weber, and developed by Frank Parkin), and referring to the modern concept of cultural democracy, the authoress compares three artistic projects: "Universal" (led by Grzegorz Drozd), "Guma" (Paweł Althamer), and "Import/ Export" (Michał Stankiewicz), in order to assess the capability of social art to transform the processes of social closure. The three projects not only differ in terms of artistic means (mural, sculpture, theatre), but also present varied strategies of “usurpation”, that is of affecting the rules of social inclusion (incorporation) and exclusion (marginalisation): from disturbance of the society’s symbolic order, through articulation of local collective identity, to intercultural (and, at the same time, interpersonal) encounter. The cases, which reveal both possibilities, and limits (or traps) of social art, have been selected so as to create points of critical reference for a more reflective and self-conscious social practice. Hence, at the end, the authoress provides a list of practical recommendations to be used by artists, activists and educators who are willing to resort to social art as a means of social inclusion.

Further, some of the principles of social inclusion are presented. A brief review of the literature provides key views and theories of social inclusion. In particular, the author brings to attention that the included/excluded dualism apparent in the writings of social inclusion and exclusion cannot be taken at face value. In line with global debate on social inclusion and exclusion, the author brings the way this debate has now pervaded both the official and development policy discourse in Albania.Social inclusion is considered as one of the priorities of the current government, with poverty reduction as its main focus, which will be ensured not only through economic development.

The objective of the paper is to assess the situation of Polish regions (NUTS 2) and their progress in sustainable development regarding social inclusion. The study covers the period after Poland’s accession to the European Union (2004-2011). The implementation of ratio analysis and synthetic measure facilitated an evaluation of occurring tendencies. Taxonomic analysis was performed for the years 2006 and 2011. Linear arrangement methods and a common development pattern were applied in constructing the measure. The observed tendencies may be assessed as positive. All regions made progress towards the pattern even though the rate of occurring transformations was diversified. At the same time territorial disparities became smaller. Despite the recorded progress the situation in the country still requires to be improved. Among the most significant challenges encountered by Polish regions there are extensive income distribution inequalities, long-term unemployment, high percentage of population threatened with poverty and low participation of the disabled in the labour market.

By preparing the space within an educational institution for a quantitatively significant group of pupils with special needs, we prevent exclusion by enabling environmental integration. That policy of public space management is consistent with the World Health Organization's (UN WHO) "World Action Program for People with Disabilities", the European Union's document "Accessibility: principles and lines directives", as well as with Polish law. The aim of this study was to analyse the adaptation of school sports and recreational infrastructure to the needs of students with different types of disabilities. The study was carried out as a part of the research project DS-300 at the University of Physical Education in Warsaw. According to the premises of the pilot study, the analysis of the available source materials, participant- and open nonparticipant observation together with photographic documentation were applied. Structured interviews with the employees of primary schools with integrated classes in the selected districts of Warsaw (Bielany and Żoliborz) were conducted. A questions layout was used as a research tool for closed-ended structured interview. Adapting school facilities to the needs of students with disabilities (with mobility dysfunctions, visually impaired or with other special needs) is an extremely complex issue due to the variety of disorders. Therefore, the principle that should be applied to the design of education facilities (all levels) needs to be universal design, taking into account their functional availability, including sports and recreational infrastructure for all groups of students, with the message: "designing for the disabled - we design for everyone". It should be emphasized that there is no single, universal and ideal model of integration, or school sports team "without barriers", therefore the problem of functional and curricula concept is still open, and professional search and discussions should be constantly conducted - both practical and theoretical.

Poland’s current demographic situation does not differ considerably from the situation in other European Union countries where the phenomenon of population ageing has intensified. Older people constitute a group affected by social exclusion due to poor financial status, poor health or disability as well as the fact that older people are regarded as in Polish society. Important people in the life of the elderly include family members as well as professionals such as social workers. The latter are often the only source of support for an older person who is alone or ill, and lives in a village.

Obecna sytuacja demograficzna Polski nie różni się znacząco od kondycji ludnościowej innych krajów Unii Europejskiej. W krajach tych nasiliło się zjawisko zwane starzeniem się społeczeństwa. Osoby starsze stanowią grupę, którą dotyka wykluczenie społeczne z powodu niskiego statusu materialnego, złego stanu zdrowia czy niesprawności, a także ze względu na postrzeganie człowieka starszego przez polskie społeczeństwo jako tego gorszego. Ważne w życiu osób starszych są nie tylko osoby z rodziny, ale również profesjonaliści, tacy jak pracownicy socjalni, którzy często są jedynym źródłem wsparcia dla osoby starszej – samotnej, zamieszkującej na wsi, chorej.

The article herein discusses selected issues of the effectiveness of public governance model at the Province level of self-governance in regard to providing support services to persons with disabilities. Described herein are tasks for carrying out the policy of social inclusion of persons with disabilities that are the responsibility of the Province self-governance. Also described is the method for carrying out the said tasks and the most frequently used model of public governance. Discussed also are the critical challenges and flaws of the said model of public governance. Presented also are some suggestions for changes in regard to the discussed areas. The aim of the article is to analyze province social policy toward people with disabilities. The article also attempts to evaluate the methods used to implement it. The article is based on the analysis of legal acts regarding the social inclusion policy of persons with disabilities at the level of the province, with particular emphasis on the content of province programs on equal opportunities for people with disabilities and counteracting social exclusion and assistance in the implementation of tasks for the employment of disabled people. When writing an article, the dogmatic method was used in the analytical approach. The article proposes a thesis that the collaborative governance model used to implement the social inclusion policy of disabled people at the province level does not ensure sufficient control over the efficiency of using public funds, and thus does not guarantee the effective implementation of public tasks by non-public entities.

Modern multifunctional areas are designed to host a wide range of various events and provide comfortable space for both football fans and other guests. Modern arenas are places where ‚multi-sensory’ and ‚omnivorous’ needs of fans are met: As such, stadiums have become ‚machines for living’. This has serious social consequences for the segregation of fans – hardcore vs. casual consumer fans – that is built in the arena. This article analyzes the role of modern sport arenas in shaping the commercial dimension of contemporary football. Architects of stadiums, and the people who are in charge of marketing and management of the space of these arenas, play essential roles in the process of commercializing the sports space. The analysis is based on material obtained from archival research and in-depth interviews (IDI) with these key actors.

The paper refers to a small fraction of raw data obtained during 50 interviews carried out in Lisbon and in Warsaw in 2017-2018. Through the preliminary interpretative analysis with the use of MAXQDA 2018, a connection between English language and soft power (Nye 2004) was established. 'Soft power' is a political concept, re-introduced in this paper through the novel interpretation of the research data, whilst looking at the English language from a sociopolitical, critical pedagogy perspective, in order to investigate its implications for social inclusion and exclusion. Moreover, unexpected matrixes of language, gender and power were discovered, embodying Boudon's concept of unintended consequences of social action (1993). The study was conducted with the use of soft system methodology (SSM) and the notion of 'soft' in social sciences was explored. It also introduced SSM to the analysis of social aspects of the English language in public spaces in Poland and Portugal. Moreover, the results of the study confirmed that there is a connection between English language acquisition and the socio-economic positioning of workers in these locations. The study should be treated as singular and with no intention of building a universal theory, but aims to look into language from an original perspective and to share the most interesting quotes from the research participants, to reveal people's own voices and their own words (appropriately coded to maintain anonymity) and to establish direct contact between the interviewees and their audience.

The research work meets the need to develop a new definition of the role of banks in the credit society. The rules and regulations of banking do not permit loans on any demand, which causes great conflicts and disputes. Providers of consumer finance under the pressure of competition, want to expand their activities into new market segments, however, they are accused of predatory lending, the sale of expensive services to vulnerable consumers and it drives them into the trap of debt and does not promote social inclusion. On the one hand, the legislator proposes a number of new institutions, which should alleviate this conflict of interest and induce banks to accept best practices, but their assessment is ambivalent (regulations against usury, consumer bankruptcy). On the other hand, there are notable institutions oriented on the needs of poorer circles of society, which are not respected by global banks, aimed rather at the mainstream consumer products. Among these institutions there are cooperative banks, credit unions, alternative (social) banks, and non-bank loan institutions (microlenders). In many countries, and in the EU the raising attention is attached also to the development of a universal financial services (basic bank account) which can help to prevent social exclusion and promote non-cash economy. On this background there is an interesting issue on interdependence of social exclusion, financial exclusion and digital divide, and also on the importance and methodology of consumer financial education (knowledge – skills – confidence).

This paper reflects on a practitioner-grounded metaphor – the mosaic – as a means to think the relationship between health and the environment in two policy initiatives, a walking and a conservation group. These were both part of Thames Chase Community Forest, a UK-based nature program to combat ill-health, poverty and social exclusion for those on the fringe of large urban conurbations. Using multiple research methods, the paper questions the simple, literal, equal-but-separate notions of the two pre-set policy parameters to show how the solidarity that mattered could not be fixed in advance. It was a mosaic-in-the-making, that came to life along the way, within the shifting ground of patterned regularities, people and happenings that often escape the net of rapid approaches to ethnographic policy research. Such reflections might usefully offer fresh soundings for policy-makers to contemplate, not merely a blueprint to be followed.

The concept of “good governance,” reflected in legislation, modifies the nature of the activity of public authorities. It is currently being promoted by international institutions, including the European Union, particularly with regard to its cohesion policy, which should be based on the principles of openness, participation, accountability, effectiveness and cohesion. Therefore, the existing mechanisms of cross-sectoral cooperation are being modified and new organisational and legal forms are emerging. They meet the requirements of openness, partnership and dialogue of public administration with social partners, thus increasing the effectiveness of bodies of public administration. As a result of consultation, as well as through the direct involvement of social partners in the implementation of tasks, the public are more trusting and the actions of public authorities are gaining more legitimacy.

Self-advocacy is both a competence necessary for independent adult life and a form of activity of people with disability in terms of exercising their rights to self-determine. It is also a form of social inclusion and participation, often having a character of volunteer engagement of people with disability in work for their minority group. Although the access of people with disability to the sphere of supporting other people is still limited, self-advocacy seems to be a promising form of changing that. In this article self-advocacy and volunteering are discussed in the context of models of disability. The ways how self-advocacy brings to life the functions of volunteerism which concern the creation of self and benefits for the society in general are described. Conclusions are derived with regard to the meaning of self-advocacy and volunteerism in supporting the social participation of people with disability.

Urban exclusion has become one of the most studied subjects in the areas of both urban studies and exclusion studies. The problem is interpreted as a range of serious issues affecting the very social order of contemporary cities. Urban exclusion hinders the equal and sustainable development of society, hence leading policymakers to try and employ different programmes focused on tackling urban exclusion. Although their overall aims are similar, their specific means and measures differ significantly. However, it is important to ask whether the phenomenon of urban exclusion is sufficiently specific enough to allow for the development of particular effective approaches to challenge it.
