It discusses the reintegration potential of SE entities in the region and describes their activity related to the problem of social exclusion. The key issues defining the role of SE in Western Pomerania are presented from the perspective of the centres and clubs for social integration, occupational therapy workshops, and vocational activity institutes. The last part outlines the scope of cooperation between the SE sector and local government intended to enhance social and occupational reintegration. The article invites further discussion aimed at building public awareness of the role and importance of the idea of social solidarity economics at the dawn of the 21st century.
