V. Report on the system of counteracting social marginalization in Poland

In our opinion, the situation of children from the marginalized families and communities worsens each year. Currently, the fate of children from about half million of degraded and marginalized families, due to structural unemployment, is determined. The conditions in which they are raised, will make these children passive, helpless, disheartened, and living day by day without future. Few persons see connection between the progressing social marginalization of millions of people in Poland and the increasing violence, crime and addictions. Frequently the solution of the problem of security is perceived only in increasing control and repression of a criminal environments, but the necessity of providing help to the weakest and counteracting the social exclusion are underestimated. We believe these problems should be publicized, the social awareness should awakened, the activities of the state administration, local autorities and NGOs should be joined, discussions and actions should be provoked to counteract the process of social exclusion, and effective programs of social re-integration should be created.

In 2003 our Federation developed and disseminated the report concerning the situation of children from the marginalized communities. This report was disseminated among the public institutions and non-government organizations, raising many comments and an enlivened discussion. The report was then published in the internet, in the conference materials, in the professional press. The evaluation of the situation and the conclusions were also submitted to the press, radio and television.

VI. Conferences of the professional circles

Federation for Social Re-Integration in the period from October 17 to November 20, 2003 organized a series of nine conferences devoted to counteracting the social marginalization entitled: "Children without Future", held in Warsaw, Ełk, Wandzin, Krotoszyn, Łódź, Katowice, Skarżysko-Kamienna, Zgierz and Otwock. In total 545 persons participated in the conferences. They were the representatives of the state and local autorities organizations, academic circles, public institutions and NGOs acting for the benefit of children, adolescent and families from the marginalized communities, media and students of the last years of social studies.

The conferences were devoted most of all to:
1. An attempt to diagnose the causes of social marginalization of children and adolescent in Poland.
