Summary/Abstract: Social exclusion is linked to limited opportunities in meeting either individual or social community needs. The most significant factors leading to marginalization are considered to be poverty, health and wellbeing. Those factors are then linked to the situation of labour market and its indicators such as: unemployment, homelessness and disability. The situation of Roma Community in Poland after 1989 was very difficult. It resulted in several criticism reports published by international organizations which carried on research on those ethnic minorities that applied for UE membership. The first real attempt of how to resolve Roma Community problems was the Pilot Study of Roma Community in Małopolska County in 2001. This program became successful and was recognized by polish society which resulted in continuing it all over the country. This paper describes the present situation of Roma Community living in Małopolska County, who experienced 13 years of integration practices especially in relation to education, employment and positive attitude coming from the rest of society.
