ACTIVATION AND INTEGRATION - SELECTED ISSUES CONCERNING SOCIAL COOPERATIVES IN MAŁOPOLSKA AND OPOLE REGIONS

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the basie facts related to the functioning of social cooperatives in Poland and in both voivodeships analysed. It also illustrates the role these entities play in the activation through operation of groups at risk of social exclusion. Vocational activation is a means to socio-vocational reintegration of mem-bers of the cooperatives. The social cooperatives in the Opole and Małopolska regions, being the subject of this analysis, constitute an example of efficiently operating social enterprises that, thanks to the support from the self-government in one case and from a non-governmental organization in the other, are able to operate in the market efficiently while pursuing their social missions.
