Lech Walesa in Gdansk shipyardToday we take a look at the birth of Solidarity, as this week Poland marks the 30th anniversary of the so-called Gdansk Agreements, accords signed between the communist authorities and workers in late August 1980.
In this 20 minute audio report, Alicja Baczynska and Magda Jensen look back on agreements signed on August 31, 1980 which legalised the trade union movement which changed Poland and Europe.
We also look at younger people’s attitude to the movement and how the history of Solidarity is being taught in schools.
