Poles in the People’s Republic of Poland, the same as other societies that found themselves behind the Iron Curtain, had very limited possibilities of foreign contacts. This isolation strongly and negatively affected youth, by nature brisk and world curious. Total lack of communication with the West was attempted to be compensated by publicizing also very limited official contacts with other socialist states. Tat is why youth organizations signed cooperation agreements with brotherly associations, organized delegations’ visits or common conferences, invited foreign guests to their conventions, were members of international left-wing associations such as, e.g., World Federation of Democratic Youth, an organizer of World Festivals of Youth and Students. These contacts, however, regarded a very narrow group of activists due to substantial political risk they carried. After 1956, possibilities of foreign travel were gradually increasing. There appeared student foreign grants, mostly to socialist countries, as well as organized foreign tourism - via travel agents “Juventur” and “Almatur”, or youth “Friendship Trains”. Foreign trips or apprenticeships became a bait of official organizations, a tool to motivate and reward the members. Te participants appreciated unofficial aspects of such trips – private contacts, and the possibility of winning substantial profits in small trade in particular.
