What are All-Poland's Workers' Conferences?

All-Poland's Workers' Conferences are regular meetings of people interested in labour issues and the activists of workers movements, trade unionists, social activists, representatives of the press and the NGO's and activists of left and anarchists movements. They are concerned over the most important problems of the workers - in Poland and in whole world.

Every Conference is a cycle of speeches, discussions and meetings that concentrate over one or few issues. On the conference one also attempts to start a co-operation between different groups and plans joint initiatives and campaigns.

The formula of the Conferences is open and democratic - they are prepared by very broad coalition of different activists and every meeting is open for everybody interested in it's issues. Every conference is prepared by the Organising Committee, which is chosen at previous conference by all the people involved. Thanks to that method, the Conferences can not be used by any group for its own porpoises and everybody interested can participate in decision-making process.
