Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the “new” situation of people with disabilities, the result of changes in defining and understanding the notion of disability and the consequences of Poland’s ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The theoretical layer of the text is illustrated with four examples of initiatives from Lublin which prove that the convention is not just a dry regulation but is being put into practice.
