A. Čepienė. Simulation of Social Participation of Village Community Members. The final paper of social work master's degree supervised by Prof. Dr. E. Acienė, Klaipėda University: Klaipėda, 2011–66 p. The analysis of the theoretical sources is carried out in the work. In the first part of the study a quantative research aiming to find out today's rural community peoples' life, their work opportunities to create a better and more active life is presented. In the second part of the study a qualitative research having used a semi-structured interview method in order to clarify the influence of rural communities evolution, the impact of environment on activities in rural communities, the objectives and structure of activities of rural communities and activating of rural communities work is presented. The hypothesis of the research is that today's rural community members' social participation is not active, with no clear content and work dimensions. The object of the research is rural community members' simulation of social participation. The goal of the research is to establish a rural community-based model of social participation based on active community participation in social activities and a professional social worker's assistance. The following are the tasks of the research: To reveal social participation within an active rural community emphasizing the phenomenon of social participation. To analyze the social participation of rural communities in solving problems, evaluating the expression of community participation in the social aspect of social work. To detect and analyze the rural community participation in social modeling assumptions. Master's work, based on empirical-analytical arguments, identified that the hypothesis-today's rural community members' social participation is not active, with no clear content and work dimensions-proved out. The study results show that the rural community is not the most under-active. It is difficult to discern an active, conscious and modern characteristics even in social workers' activities. Purposeful realization of in the social empirical study identified and in the model of rural communities' social participation described categories is rural communities' social participation activation and thereby the assumption of democracy realization.

In 2004 year Lithuania became a member of Europe uninion and began to get support from EU foundations. The main EU foundations goal is to decrease the differences of regions in economical and social aspects. The problem is that it is very hard to decide and to check if this support in real helps to decrease the difference of regions, maybe it has no influence or even has the adverse influence. In my paper work I tried to find out the EU foundations influence for decreasing social and econimical differences between Lithuanian' regions. The results are so that Lithuanian government consist with a lot of problems regarding EU foundations, it has confirmed region policy, but there is not fully checked if the support is really used for projects which can help to decreased the social and economical differences between Lithuanian regions. Besides there are more and more research made which shows that if the country do not have strong control of how is making its regional policy, the use of ES foundatios suport can make huge adverse influence for long period.

This article deals with the question of religion in contemporary secular world, to be precise – the main questions are: what mean political and ethical aspects of religion which are in the focus of contemporary secular world, and what is the social sense (meaning) of religion? The author tries to answer these questions and to find theoretical origins of such attitude toward religion by analyzing the interpretations of religion in Immanuel Kant and Jürgen Habermas. Both philosophers envisage the sense of religion in its social purpose. Kantian project of moral religion and Habermas' endeavor to overcome social disintegration, reviving the dialog between reason and religion, have been interpreted not only as the process of reduction of religion into social plane and an act of appropriation of the religious. One can see that both thinkers encounter the social contingency as the phenomenon (or prophenomenon) which itself is not very clear but appears as grounding the social sense of religion. Therefore the author comes to conclusion that social sense of religion in the secular situation means not only appropriation of the religious (immanentization) but also reveals social relationship as that which calls for religious sense (transcendence in immanence).

The aim of this study is to analyze the phenomenon of Social economy in educational context. Scientific study assumption introduced: development of social economy has an impact on safe educational development and more rapid social cohesion. In order to estimate the assumption introduced there were raised seven tasks: 1) to make a theoretical literature analysis on the concept of socio-economic; 2) to explore the socio-economic development in Canada and in other States of America; 3) to explore the importance of socio-economic aspects in the European continent and describe socio-economic development of five European countries - Belgium, Poland, France and Finland; 4) to explore the concept of corporate social responsibility and its' role in the context of social economy; 5) to examine the importance of social responsibility in society; 6) to describe and give examples of a social enterprise and concession; 7) to explore the environment of public-private partnership development. Research methods chosen for this study are analysis of documents, to in deep analyze the concept of social economy and its' role in the countries, and structured and non structured experts' interviews to explore the mechanism and impact of social economy on socioeducational environment. The analysis of the results led to the conclusion that main scientific assumption: development of social economy has an impact on safe educational development and more rapid social cohesion – is confirmed. It was determined that there is no unified definition of Social economy in international environment, that leads to the absence of common continental indicators and progress measures. The analysis of five European countries indicated that the role of government is crucial for social economic development. The term of Social economy is not widely known in Lithuania, but several social economic tools already exist: social business, non for profit organisations, volunteering, private public partnerships, conssesion cooperatives, volunteer initiatives.
