37th GA Platform
WSCF Strategic Plan 2023-2026
VISION
We envision a world where justice, compassion, and the principles of liberation permeate every aspect of society and the church; and where celebrating the diversity of identities and cultural traditions fosters unity, understanding and cooperation, and promotes the pursuit of peace for all. We envision a global movement of Christian students who are empowered by faith and radical love to take on the task of challenging systemic injustices, upholding the voices of marginalised communities, and building bridges of solidarity and equity across borders.
MISSION
We empower Christian students to promote justice and peace in the world, speak truth to power, proclaim a theology of inclusion and liberation, and stand in solidarity with marginalised communities. We initiate and engage in transformative actions, promote liberating education, and encourage cooperation among students of diverse identities and cultural background through interconnection, dialogue and cultivation of shared values. We strive to help build a global coalition of student movements that advocates and works towards a just and equitable society.

WSCF friends: Support the WSCF Program Work!
Dear Senior Friends,
Warm greetings from WSCF! It is with deep appreciation for your long-standing support that I reach out to you today.
The World Student Christian Federation has a rich history of forming and uniting youth and students worldwide, embracing diversity, and practicing ecumenical principles. Our mission is rooted in the pursuit of justice, international solidarity, human dignity, and the care of the creation.
The recent WSCF 37th General Assembly (GA) reminded us of the profound impact we can collectively make on the world. The following themes - programmatic areas were discerned and approved by the GA: Climate and Economic Justice; Youth, Peace, and Security - Peacebuilding; Democracy, Human Rights, and Fundamentalisms; Identity, Diversity, Dialogue, and Gender Justice; and Youth Ecumenical Leadership.
To address these themes and make a lasting impact, WSCF will implement a range of strategies that cut across our programs: Biblical Theological Reflection; Youth Mobilization and Participation; Advocacy and Solidarity; Capacity Building and Strengthening of Movements. These strategies are the cornerstone of our work with youth and students worldwide for the upcoming years.
