Summary/Abstract: In the light of the growing awareness of the socio-economic role of culture, the author analyses the available knowledge about the socio-economic potential of culture in the context of social economy. In particular, the article shows that cultural activities produce / have values important from the point of view of the social economy and that culture can fulfill functions attributed to the social economy. Above all, it is about creating jobs, social integration and combating exclusion, building social and human capital, and offering public goods and services. This confirms the thesis that culture can be one of the important areas of social economy.
