Abstract
An international non-governmental organization which provides a meeting place for students, crossing boundaries of culture, race and religion. National movements linked to WSCF are found in approximately ninety countries and are diverse in character. Some are nationalecumenical student movements, usually called Student Christian Movement. Others are denominational youth or student organizations. Some are composed mainly of students. Others have the active participation of teachers, pastors and workers. Some are based in universities, colleges and schools. Others are small groups of committed people. Activities include Bible study, worship, political involvement based on Christian commitment, research and documentation, solidarity actions. Structurally, the national movements cluster around WSCF Regional Offices which administer most of the international programmes. The Inter-Regional Office in Geneva serves an overall coordinating function.
