Summary/Abstract: National polis about polish civil society show huge discrepancy between sense of perpetration and civic engagement among society. In my research I tried to explain this divergence. I asked leaders of local civil groups, working on the district level, what kinds of obstacles they encounter in during activities. As a starting point I chose barriers mentioned by Piotr Gliński: immature democracy, elites' betrayal, lack of control by non-governmental organizations, difficult financial situation and lack of knowledge about rights and opportu-nities among society. I compared his deliberations with results of analysis of documents and interviews with leaders of local organizations.
