Student Solidarity Committees
Student Solidarity Committees (SKS) - opposition student organizations active in Poland in the second half of the 1970s, in Krakow, Warsaw, Gdansk, Poznan, Wroclaw and Szczecin. Activity
The first SKS was created on 15 May 1977 in Cracow, another in Warsaw (20 October 1977), Gdańsk (5th November 1977), Poznan (15 November 1977), Wrocław (14 December 1977) and Szczecin (10 May 1978). The committees took part in an independent, open human rights movement, inspired primarily by the KOR Self-Defense Committee (in particular Cracow, Warsaw, Poznan, Wroclaw) and the Human Rights and Citizenship Movement (in particular Gdańsk and Szczecin).
The most active members were SKS in Cracow and Wrocław, second in Poznań and Gdańsk. SKS Warsaw did not develop any activity separate from KSS "KOR", but the Szczecin committee did not ultimately undertake a wider activity. The committees ran independently of each other, a joint initiative was published in the 1977 Index. Bibliography
