The World Student Christian Federation (WSCF) is one of oldest faith-based youth organisations in the world. Since 1895, WSCF has played a key role in championing human rights, democratic participation and equitable societies on behalf of and with thousands of young people across the world. WSCF used to manage its European activities through the global office, until The World Student Christian Federation in Europe (WSCF-Europe) was created as a regional body in 1968.

We are passionate about supporting young people, empowering them to advocate for the causes that they care about and affect their communities. We stand for a world in which the voices of young people, but also of those who are vulnerable, treated unjustly and not receiving the respect that all human beings deserve, are heard – a world in which these voices come together through faith, bringing love, justice and peace and changing the world around them.

We combine ecumenical leadership with education on social issues and activism to make youth an active driver for change. Our work happens through capacity-building training sessions, campaigns, advocacy/solidarity work and our magazine Mozaik.
