Nongovernmental organizations are not just reinforcing the sense of sociality, but also permit to develop for the more universal inherent rights and abilities of a person: to extend the experience of a society while communicating with the people with disabilities, to create a social wealth with educational activities not for yourself but also and for others. The aim of a research is to reveal the principles of a social inclusion of people with disabilities but also and to reveal the assumptions in NGO's activities in Lithuania. The social model instead of a physical disability (also people that are treated as „problematic ones'“) failings suggested to identify the barriers that are socially contrasting in society (when people are facing difficulties). It was set up that one assumption of a successful activity of NGO is the ability of people with disabilities to cooperate that is also determined by peculiarities and motives of inter-communication of disabled, that encourages people for general activity. By the research there found factors that encourages and relieves the cooperation of people with disabilities: the content of NGO's activities and social openness and preparation to collaborate of NGO's members that are participating.

Prior research has indicated severe discrepancies in the levels of subjective well-being between people with and without disabilities. Given the Russian Government ratified the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities and thus committed itself to ensuring equal opportunities for citizens with disabilities, it is important to understand how those discrepancies can be explained and addressed. This study seeks to test whether it is the disability itself that hinders subjective well-being of disabled persons in Russia, or rather the social and economic consequences of ableist inequity, as the social model of disability would suggest. For this purpose, a series of multiple regression models was designed using data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE) which included the following blocks of independent variables: disability status, demographic background (gender, age, level of education, and marital status), economic position (relative income, purchasing power, and workforce participation) and social exclusion (loneliness, respect, and online networking). The findings indicate that the differences in subjective well-being are fully absorbed by social exclusion and financial situation rather than disability status. Thus, it can be argued that more attention should be paid by Russian policymakers to the promotion of social inclusion, combating stigma and raising public awareness on the topic, as well as employment strategies for people with disabilities that could provide them with an opportunity to improve their financial position, which should replace charitable interventions.

The situation of labour inclusion of people with disabilities in Spain is still too negative, in spite of the different efforts carried out by public and private sector. Previous research points to social discrimination as one of the main causes of the situation. Ilunion Hotels is one of the most important hotel companies in Spain focused on labour inclusion of people with disabilities. The objective of this paper is to explore the social inclusion case of Ilunion Hotels of the Costa del Sol, the actions that they have developed to improve the labour integration of this collective, based on a behavioral economics theoretical model (with a high relevance of the influence of social stigma, stress theories and coping to stress responses). We look into the specific situation of two of the three hotels developed as Special Employment Centres (sheltered employment contexts defined by Spanish legislation) and the possible impact of their Support Units for Professional Activity. Case study methodology is considered the most appropriate, according to the research objective, supported by semi-structured interviews with the hotel managers. The results show that, although Special Employment Centres are effective in improving labour integration in the short term and could contribute to change the long-term social perspectives about workers with disabilities, they could be also reinforcing the social stigma existing in the ordinary market.

As we know, there are many fields of pedagogical science. One of the most important areas is special pedagogy. Special pedagogy studies the issues of education and upbringing of children with physical and mental disabilities. People with disabilities are those who are relatively disabled in terms of any part of the body or the brain. In our country, special attention is paid to the education of people with disabilities. Inclusive education creates conditions for the protection of social equality, education and other special needs of children with disabilities. According to the teaching methodology, inclusive education prevents discrimination against children, allows people with various diseases to get a perfect education and succeed. Its main task is to create an environment for vocational training of people with disabilities. In modern times, people with disabilities should not be seen as sick, but as people with disabilities. This shapes the social approach to disability. The social model allows these children to exercise their rights to develop their skills. The purpose of inclusive physical education is to teach students to move together, which promotes the improvement and development of human psychophysical abilities. Different exercises should be chosen for each lesson and combined in such a way as to have a comprehensive effect on the body and ensure that each student can perform. It is necessary to ensure the general requirements and their specificity when arranging lessons. Sports have a great impact on the development of the personality of children with disabilities as normal children. Sport is one of the most important conditions for everyone and is acceptable for any age group. All these procedures are more effective when performed in unison. Let's protect our child's life together for a healthy life and step into a healthy future Key words: Inclusion, inclusive education, inclusive physical education, a person with disabilities, special education

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the socio-familial and community inclusion and social participation of people with disabilities, as well as their inclusion in occupations in daily life. METHOD: qualitative study with data collected through open interviews concerning the participants' life histories and systematic observation. The sample was composed of ten individuals with acquired or congenital disabilities living in the region covered by a Family Health Center. The social conception of disability was the theoretical framework used. Data were analyzed according to an interpretative reconstructive approach based on Habermas' Theory of Communicative Action. RESULTS: the results show that the socio-familial and community inclusion of the study participants is conditioned to the social determinants of health and present high levels of social inequality expressed by difficult access to PHC and rehabilitation services, work and income, education, culture, transportation and social participation. CONCLUSION: there is a need to develop community-centered care programs in cooperation with PHC services aiming to cope with poverty and improve social inclusion.

This review aims to provide bibliographic information about the historical stages through which the concept of disability has gone through. Based on the investigations of the three most characteristic models, which throughout history have helped society as a frame of reference for the treatment of disability: the tragedy/charity model, characteristic of antiquity and the medieval era; the medical or rehabilitation model, typical of the first half of the 20th century; and the social model, which arises from the sixties of the last century and is currently trying to keep. This evolution has been presented as a consequence of the development that humanity has had, both in its ideas of perceiving people with disabilities, and in the interventions that have been substantially modified. Playing an important role traditions and beliefs, as well as the advancement of science in its different expressions.

The book “Asistenţa socială şi religiozitatea la persoanele cu handicap” [Social work and religiosity for people with disabilities], authored by Carman Gabriela Mândrilă Lăzăreanu, published by Lumen Publishing House from Iasi, Romania, in 2020, aims from the beginning to be an important guide for young generations, developing both the secular dimension of social work and the religious dimension, specific to theological environments. We welcome the publishing of the book, especially since social discourses and, unfortunately, those of some Romanian public personalities blame the vulnerable condition of the people who depend on financial benefits and other types of intervention and support services. In this sense, the book clarifies from the beginning the importance of changing mentalities, norms, and how these people are perceived, for a solution to the problems they face. Approached in terms of cause and effect, the volume focuses on the social, psychological, medical, and legal dimensions that define the situation of disability in order to build an objective framework for assessing and supporting the condition of disability.

En distintos estados de la república mexicana existen proyectos educativos colectivos que en mayor o menor medida se erigen en las aulas de las escuelas públicas de nivel básico fomentando la vinculación comunitaria, el trabajo basado en la colectividad y el impulso de la participación activa de los sujetos educativos. El sentido político y epistémico de los proyectos educativos locales a contracorriente de la educación oficial nacional, se acompaña de los proyectos que persiguen los pueblos y agrupaciones magisteriales, mediante la construcción de sus propios saberes y experiencias a partir de las cuales despliegan estrategias para la apropiación social de la escuela. Dichas alternativas escolares conforman un emergente escenario de acción colectiva donde diversas expresiones de la Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación sintetizan sus proyectos político-educativos. Este artículo se propone revisar desde una metodología etnográfica de las interacciones en el ámbito escolar, cómo dichas iniciativas se implementan en el territorio educativo y cuáles son los principales desafíos en la compleja tarea de resistir al modelo convencional de la escuela del Estado para ponerla al servicio de las luchas magisteriales y populares. Los hallazgos de estas experiencias de educación alternativa constituyen insumos significativos para repensar la forma en que distintos actores sociales recuperan el espacio escolar para alimentar sus propios proyectos de sociedad y transformación sociopolítica que enarbolan a partir de su praxis en el campo educativo. ABSTRACT In different states of the Mexican Republic there are collective educational projects that, to a greater or lesser extent, are set up in public school classrooms at the basic level, promoting community involvement, work based on collectivity and the promotion of active participation by educational subjects. The political and epistemic meaning of local educational projects that go against the grain of official national education is accompanied by the projects pursued by the people and teachers’ groups, through the construction of their own knowledge and experiences from which they deploy strategies for the social appropriation of the school. These school alternatives form an emerging scenario of collective action where diverse expressions of the National Coordinator of Education Workers synthesize their political-educational projects. This article proposes to review, from an ethnographic methodology, the interactions in the school environment, how these initiatives are implemented in the educational territory and what are the main challenges in the complex task of resisting the conventional model of the state school in order to put it at the service of the teachers’ and popular struggles. The findings of these experiences of alternative education constitute significant inputs for rethinking the way in which different social actors recover the school space to feed their own projects of society a

People with disabilities are vulnerable to experience exclusion and discrimination in society. Likewise in Indonesia, a common condition for people with disabilities is the low level of participation in various sectors, such as the economy, education, healthcare, and public infrastructure. However, Indonesia has committed and started efforts to improve the equality of people with disabilities’ access. One institution that plays an important role in this regard is the social welfare institution. On a related note, this study discusses the dynamic of the social welfare institution’s roles in Indonesia in providing welfare for people with disabilities. Furthermore, the roles are explored based on the current context of society, which over the last few years, has been changing rapidly due to technological advancements, information acceleration, and big data utilization. This study argues building an inclusive social welfare institution is fundamental to fulfill the people with disabilities’ welfare. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature review and secondary data analysis as data collection methods.

The article reveals the social and philosophical views of M.A. Bakunin on the genesis, essence and evolution of the state. At the same time, attention is focused on his interpretation of state power, which is a lack of justice and freedom for the people. The philosopher, in substantiating his point of view, gives a detailed analysis of the philosophical conceptual provisions on the state. M.A. Bakunin, being an anarcho-revolutionary in his philosophical views, substantiates the limited point of view on the issue of the state and its social role, the positions of the representatives of German social democracy and the views of supporters of Marxist philosophy. The article reveals the socio-philosophical positions of the Russian thinker on the issue of essential components that substantiate the need for the evolution of the state and its departure from the historical arena. At the same time, the main regulations that characterize the prospects for the development of the state and its withering away are revealed. Only a social revolution, according to M.A. Bakunin, can lead to the destruction of the state as an organ of violence, and bring the people freedom, equality and the use of social wealth. Purpose of the research: to reveal the social and philosophical positions of M.A. Bakunin on the genesis of the state, its essence and evolution. Conclusions: The state, according to the views of M.A. Bakunin, is in any form of violence against the people, and therefore it must be destroyed through a social revolution. The future structure of society, as an ideal, should be based on justice and freedom of the people, their self-organization.
