During our last meeting in Słupsk, we all watched with some pleasure relatively short video presented by Mr Piekarski of The Academia Pomorska in Słupsk. The video, with en English translation, shows “winding roads” along which volontary activity developed. “The winding roads” here mentioned  began in the early history of Poland and with changing moods of history run into contemporary decades of nowdays Poland.  The short presentation, non the less  informative and not without witty comments, portrays those persons who contributed to the essential development of such activity and describes ever widening circle of those who  more or less depend on volontary assistance.
We should very much intersted in getting your comments on how volontary activity developed in your  home country and which are the biggest challenges at the present.
The video has the Polish soundtrack and English subtitles which are to be activated by choosing additional file. Both files are attached to this post.
