The article presents the concept of empowerment in the context of early childhood education, mentioning its 5 dimensions, i.e. meaning, self-determination, competence, influence and security. Attempts to identify these dimensions are presented in the collected research material in the form of critical events from students’ pedagogical practices. In the light of the results obtained, early school education appears as an environment for blocking students’ empowerment in each of the highlighted aspects. The summary of the article identifies the possibilities of overcoming barriers in respecting the autonomy of a child at school.

The paradigmatic change in adult education that took place in the 1990s, involving “a shift from teaching towards learning”, resulted not only in deeper reflection of andragogists on the epistemological issues concerning the specific character and conditions of adult learning, but also in the redefinition of andragogic notions including the title category of empowerment. Another consequence of this change is a different attitude towards the educational activity of adults, an example of which is the international educational project “ICT-Guides” described in the article. The first part of the article analyzes the concept of lifelong learning and characterizes empowerment, which provides the theoretical context for further deliberations. Then, the assumptions of the “ICT-Guides” project are presented. The project shows a new way of determining educational tasks and organizing educational work in the context of lifelong learning. The “ICT-Guides” project is also an example of a good practice serving empowering functions.

Empowerment w kontekście uczenia sie przez całe życie.Przykład z projektu “ICT Guides”W pierwszej części artykułu poddano analizie koncepcję całożyciowego uczenia oraz scharakteryzowano kategorię empowerment, co tworzy teoretyczny kontekst rozważań. Pojęcie empowerment (upełnomocnienie) jest tu definiowane jako złożona kompetencja, którą rozwinąć można w wielowymiarowym procesie społecznego uczenia się, wiąże się ona z uzyskaniem kontroli nad własnym życiem poprzez zdobycie wiedzy i umiejętności, które umożliwiają poprawę sytuacji życiowej. Upełnomocnienie można analizować z perspektywy indywidualnej i zbiorowej. Indywidualny aspekt upełnomocnienia zwraca uwagę na dostęp ludzi do takich typów wiedzy, które umożliwią rozwój wykraczający poza rolę pracownika czy konsumenta; odnosi się do sposobu, w jaki ludzie postrzegają siebie i myślą o sobie, oraz świadomości w zakresie wiedzy eksperckiej i umiejętności, które rzeczywiście posiadają. Upełnomocnienie zbiorowe z kolei, odnosi się do przełamywania barier, do zmiany pozycji społecznej, umożliwia bycie „aktorem społecznym” w pełni zdolnym do wnoszenia wkładu indywidualnego i kolektywnego w zmianę świata wokół siebie. W drugiej części artykułu zostały przedstawione cele i założenia projektu „ICT- -Guides”, który jest egzemplifikacją nowego sposobu określania zadań edukacyjnych i organizacji pracy dydaktycznej w zakresie rozwijania wiedzy i umiejętności, przyczyniających się do upełnomocnienia jednostek zarówno w obszarze indywidualnym, jak i zbiorowym. Projekt jest realizowany m.in. w miastach Goeteborg, Berlin, Madryt, Sheffield, w których od lat notuje się wysoki odsetek osób (głównie imigrantów) zagrożonych ubóstwem i wykluczeniem społecznym. Celem projektu jest zbadanie możliwości zastosowania technologii teleinformatycznych (ICT) jako narzędzia łączącego młodych imigrantów, zagrożonych przedwczesnym porzuceniem edukacji szkolnej, z pokoleniem starszym, w celu ograniczenia wśród imigrantów zjawiska porzucania szkoły i wykluczania społecznego. Wstępne wyniki badań potwierdzają założenie, że projekt „ICT- -Guides” to przykład „dobrej praktyki” pełniącej funkcje upełnomacniające.

The aim of this study is an attempt to interpret the concept of „empowerment” in the perspective of open innovation issues. The text consists of a brief introduction, four sections, and summary. The main background of the research is related to the importance of the social reality of the organisation to evolving paradigms of innovation. In the face of globalization challenges, the innovation management could be interpreted as a specific system based on interdisciplinary analysis of an organisation’s social potential. The methodology involves desk research and theoretical deliberations. As the results, this study distinguished attributes and role of empowerment in the social development process. The possibilities of an adoption of this concept to management in the open innovation context provide the theoretical contribution.

People, with their knowledge and potential, are undoubtedly the most important part in any organisation because, thanks to them, it might accomplish its goals, gain a competitive advantage and achieve success on the market. That is why each organisation should hire the most appropriate employees and provide working conditions that enable them to unleash their potential for the company’s benefit. The fundamental value for creating a good work environment is employees’ subjectivity, which can be perceived in two ways. The basic level of honouring a person’s subjectivity is respecting human rights and the employee’s dignity in mutual relations. The higher level, though, is to give people a certain amount of autonomy and responsibility in their workplace. The aim of this paper is to identify and analyse interdisciplinary concepts that managers can use in order to ensure that people are given the respect they deserve.

Childhood is a unique period of life, and it has a fundamental influence on human being’s process of development. Knowledge and experience gathered by a child has a great impact on his/her behaviour and relations with others. Identity(ies) of the child, especially its social aspect, is shaped through the acting process, in a specific social space. It is the key to understanding mechanisms taking place between an individual and society. Its form and shape are determined by a society as well as an individual depending on his/her position in the social structure. What are the commonalities and differences between the world of children of vulnerable identity and those who are brought up in “healthy” family systems? They form a separate social group and are present in various types of discourse. However, their social situation is different, much more difficult ‒ their life stories are complicated, and their firsthand experience is much bigger. What are their chances of being included in the mainstream? The purpose of the article is to find the answer to the question

The article focuses on the issue of equality with regard to the process of European integration. Firstly, the change of the legal paradigm in the European legal culture is characterised, secondly, the notion of self-reflexive societies is introduced, and eventu-ally the paper deals with the issue of equality set as a complex problem, especially with regard to the social dimension. The chief concern of the paper is to develop the concept of the public power of judgement, to unveil the role of moral-discursive competencies, and to explain in what sense the theoretical premise of rationality potentials released in the discourse may overburden an ordinary citizen’s participation in processes of demo-cratic law legitimation.

The paper presents concepts of personalistic leadership and servant leadership as an alternative to the technocratic management. The most important issue in the two concepts of leadership is the empowerment, that is, the capacity of building the staff (competence, knowledge, motivation). Servant leadership is an American concept of leadership very similar to the concept of personalistic leadership. The differences arise from how to give reasons – servant leadership has inspired by religion (Christianity), whereas the concept of personalistic leadership is based on the personalism and phenomenology.

The article analyses the main humanistic models in the theory of management. Seeking the answer to a question is an aim of analysis research: whether achievements of the humanistic current do the man good and help them with their development, or whether, on the contrary – have instrumental character and serve only increasing the effectiveness of the man as the employee? Discovering deeper sources of the activity is crucial for fuller understanding the empowerment, which is developed in servant leadership.

The negative tendencies in contemporary society and organisations occur as a result of technocratic culture (technopoly). To improve this situation, it is necessary to change the technocratic decision-making paradigm to an ecoempathetic one. The paper presents the ecoempathetic concept of management operations as a philosophy leading to sustainable development and harmony in organisations.

Purpose. This study aims to identify the impact of the Special Olympics’ Unified Sports program on the personal development of its participants. Methods. A qualitative method was used, which included gathering data by interviewing individual athletes and unified teams, by collecting individual personal histories and by use of connection charts from five European countries that participate in the Unified Sports program. A total of 221 data samples were recorded. Results. Athletes reported improvements in their abilities on the field as well as increased fitness and technical ability. They emphasized the importance of team-work and trust between athletes. Improvements in confidence, self-esteem and communication skills were also reported by athletes. Partners also reported a positive change in attitude towards people with intellectual disabilities. Friendships were a central and vital aspect of taking part in the teams. Friendships developed between athletes and partners. Athletes reported increased access to community “places” such as sports facilities and social venues. Conclusions. Unified Sports is an exciting initiative that holds much promise in transforming the life experiences of young athletes with intellectual disabilities. The impact of the Unified Sports program on the personal development of participants applies to all areas of human functioning - physical, mental and social. Our evaluation suggests that its concepts and modes of operations transcend national boundaries and cultures at least within a European context.

Homeless people are subjected to disadvantageous representations in the media, also lacking opportunities for self-representation. This article reports on the findings of two preparatory stages of a project that involves homeless people in the publication of their own newspaper. The findings show that homeless people want to represent themselves through self-created news and to address homelessness as a social issue through people’s life stories, which has the potential to challenge mainstream media practices related to portraying homelessness. At the same time, the analysis reveals several issues that need to be considered while implementing such projects. For example, self-empowerment may sometimes come at the price of disempowerment of others. This emphasizes the importance of carefully structuring the facilitating processes to promote homeless people’s genuine media participation, and to support individual and community empowerment.

The article presents history and dynamics of tourist movement in the Colca Valley. Analyzing results of field research conducted in 2003 and 2007 the authors describe main changes in the attitudes of local inhabitants and authorities towards tourism and identify their character. Tourist activities based on the Colca Canyon natural attractions, remaining under total control of external tour operators since the eighties and perceived as a burden in the area, are seen now as a possible important factor of local development. New bottom-up initiatives are spreading in the Colca localities supported by NGOs and a public development program. Patterns of more sustainable tourism emerge and local culture is turning into an important element of the Colca tourist product.

Social protection programs have been an important part of development process and planning in India since its Independence. However, after sixty-five years, around one-fourth of its population lives in poverty. Despite a plethora of social protection programs, vulnerable groups among the poor have not been well targeted. However, the recent paradigm shift towards rights-based legislations may have hit the right chord with its self-targeting mechanism. The Right to Work, or the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) provided employment to almost 55 million households and spending nearly 8 billion US dollars in April 2010–March 2011. Participation of women and socially backward groups has been exceptionally high. This paper analyzes the policy provisions, implementation and monitoring mechanism of MGNEGA to argue that policy designs with legal enforceable mechanisms and collaborative governance systems can lead to empowerment of the marginalized sections.

The presence or appearance of social problems is associated with the continuous search for new approaches, forms and methods of social work, creating efficient solutions based on a thorough analysis of scientific literature, research, as well as their use by practitioners, often encompassing supervision by the creators or experienced implementers. Among the most recent examples of the concept of using the idea of empowerment, inter alia, an approach which concentrates on solutions, positive psychology, case management, the supported employment model, and an approach based on the building and development of society. Moreover, one must draw attention to motivational dialogue and family group conferences, video training communication, genogram, or the accompaniment method and outreach method. Bearing in mind the necessity of engaging in work with individuals who need the assistance of a social worker, the goal of considerations was to show selected innovative solutions in contemporary social work.

Występowanie czy pojawianie się problemów społecznych wiąże się z ciągłym poszukiwaniem nowych podejść, form i metod pracy socjalnej, tworzeniem efektywniejszych rozwiązań, opartych na wnikliwej analizie literatury naukowej, badaniach, jak również ich zastosowaniem przez praktyków, niejednokrotnie objętych superwizją przez twórców czy też doświadczonych realizatorów. Wśród najnowszych przykładów koncepcji, wykorzystujących idee empowerment, można wymienić m.in.: podejście skoncentrowane na rozwiązaniach, psychologię pozytywną, zarządzanie zasobami przypadku, model zatrudnienia wspieranego, podejście oparte na budowaniu i rozwoju społeczności. Ponadto należy zwrócić uwagę na dialog motywujący oraz konferencję grupy rodzinnej, a także wideotrening komunikacji, genogram czy metodę towarzyszenia i metodę outreach. Mając na uwadze konieczność podejmowania pracy z osobami potrzebującymi pomocy pracownika socjalnego celem rozważań uczyniono ukazanie wybranych innowacyjnych rozwiązań we współczesnej pracy socjalnej.
