ABOUT THE GLOBAL ASSEMBLY

The General Assembly is the most representative and highest decision-making body of the World Student Christian Federation. General Assemblies or General Committees of WSCF have taken place since the federation’s foundation meeting in 1895. The four-yearly General Assembly involves every national member movement of the federation along with WSCF Executive Committee Officers, Inter-Regional and Regional staff. The General Assembly quorum must include at least half its member movements and the voting delegates should be balanced in terms of student and gender representation. Also in attendance at General Assemblies are stewards from SCMs who work to support the assembly’s programme and administration, guests from partner organisations and resource people providing input during the assembly programme.

The General Assembly opens with a review of the life and changing contexts of its member movements at national, regional and inter-regional levels. The General Assembly reviews and assesses:

  • The situation of the member movements
  • The situation of the regions
  • The work of the Executive Committee
  • The world wide situation of the Federation
