Praca kulturalno-oświatowa w jednostkach Powszechnej Organizacji „Służba Polsce” (1948–1956) – założenia i realizacja

One of the statutory assignment of Common Organization “Sluzba Polsce” (1948–1955) was to force masses of youth, especially those from countryside, to go on a large building projects of the 6-year plan. Simultaneously, units of this organization (detachments and brigades) were bringing about a “new type” of human being. Important tasks related to this problem, relied on properly directed educational and cultural activities. It was attempted to achieve throughout popularization of reading books and papers, growth of artistic and educational work in special common room groups, listening radio broadcasts, displaying films and organizing excursions etc. Unfortunately, in practice, the possibility of youth cultural and mental development through Common Organization “Sluzba Polsce”, excluding struggle with illiteracy, was wasted. Papers and books full of Stalinism propaganda didn’t draw youth’s attention. Unprepared personnel was unable to improve artistic activity in common rooms. Moreover, primacy of production tasks effected that units of Common Organization “Sluzba Polsce” didn’t have enough time to organize excursions or more interesting for young people movie-shows
