We are thrilled to invite our Senior Friends and WSCF supporters to join the WSCF Christmas Virtual Event “Affirming WSCF legacy into today’s pathways of Justice,” to be held on December 13th, 2023, at 13 GMT.
The recent WSCF 37th General Assembly (GA) reminded us of the profound impact we can collectively make on the world.

On the other hand, to engage Senior Friends to join the WSCF initiative, strengthening intergenerational cooperation and empowering Senior Friend networks worldwide as part of the discussion held at the General Assembly.
This Virtual Event is a pivotal component of our broader strategy to involve Senior Friends actively in the ongoing work of the Federation, thereby fostering intergenerational cooperation, dialogue, and feedback.
During this Virtual Event, we will:
- Share inspiring stories from Senior Friends about WSCF’s identity and Ecumenical Leadership legacy and stories of SCM members to show the programmatic impact of WSCF on students and communities.
- Present the WSCF Program Work Plan developed by the global staff team and WSCF bodies after the General Assembly, which outlines our vision for the next 4 to 6 years.
- Introduce you to the new WSCF Global Staff Team responsible for ensuring that our operations run smoothly.

2. Get involved! Join Seniors Friend Network
The Senior Friend Gathering held at our last GA proposed strengthening the Senior Friend Network to involve more friends and increase the impact of intergenerational cooperation at the federation. For that, we need your active involvement/participation at your local or regional senior friend body. We invite Senior friends to promote it if there is no dynamic network. You can contact us and your Regional Secretary to follow up on this.
