Abstract

Thousands of Cuban workers went to the European member-states of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA), more precisely Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, and Bulgaria, between 1978 and 1990. Cuban archives allow to reconstruct those Cuban experiences with state-party-led labour programmes in the context of the CMEA and reveals the potential of these programmes for the personal development of its participants. The main research findings emphasize the importance of the CMEA context, the understanding of the development purposes, and main paths to evaluate the results of labour programmes between Cuba and CMEA countries from the Cuban perspective.
