The "Invisible Hand" campaign was initiated and led by Maciej Ziminski as part of the "Ekran z bratkiem" program. "The formula of the program, aimed mainly at scouts, was to develop pro-social attitudes in young people, directing their energy to helping those in need. An atmosphere reminiscent of intelligence tasks was created [...]. One could not see the face of the interviewer, only his silhouette, also the manner of conducting was done in a specific, mysterious way [...]. Young people were supposed to perform tasks involving selflessly helping others, especially the elderly and sick, in such a way as not to be seen, leaving only the sign of a reflected hand on the spot. Satisfaction was supposed to come from the mere feeling of doing needed work" (Wikipedia).
