What: Students Working group meeting 2018
When: from the 17th to the 20th May
Where: Kurt Löwenstein Youth Centre Werneuchen / Werftpfuhl, Germany. (Close to Berlin)
Participants profile: 18-35 years, grassroots activists, 2 seats for each region (no more than one per Member Organisation)
Deadline: 2 April

In this working group meeting, we will explore the today status of the access to education from a rights-based approach and will come up with campaigns to strengthen IUSY work on students issues.

Student politics remain critical in youth struggles for an equal world. IUSY as a youth organisation cannot afford to be complacent about student politics and struggles. It is therefore of supreme importance that the newly elected IUSY leadership takes the students issues seriously.

IUSY believes that student’s rights are fundamental for the youth of the world to become active and critical citizens in our society.

For the youth to realize its full potential and contribute positively towards development access to public education at all levels must be a reality.

Therefore we aim to build a network that will support the interest of students within IUSY structures and at a global level.
