Our Mission
The Student World Assembly is a non-governmental, nonpartisan organization created to represent students globally. It provides a deliberative assembly where students around the world can exchange views, vote on global issues through online discussion forums and in annual international conventions, and translate these views into meaningful actions.
Our Democratic Philosophy
The Student World Assembly believes that true global democracy affirms fundamental human rights, which include the dignity and worth of all human beings, the equal rights of men and women, social, economic and cultural justice for every person, and the freedom to promote these causes. SWA’s representative democracy offers a powerful instrument for addressing the vital social and political conditions that threaten our global future. The informed wishes of the people, conveyed through the collective of a democratic assembly, need to be heard in the decision-making processes. By giving students from the most remote to the more accessible institutions an equal voice, we are enabling all students to educate, participate and take action, and to begin thinking of themselves as global citizens.
Educate
Pressing Global Issues
SWA endeavors to educate the world through its members. Every month, a chapter of the Student World Assembly highlights a Pressing Global Issue. Once approved by the Issues & Campaigns Committee, the general membership is provided with news reports, articles, and scholarly resources through the website. After reading about the issue, members are urged to engage in a dialogue with others on the online discussion forum. The purpose of the discussion forums is to educate and be educated, to hear and be heard, about the global issues that demand our immediate attention.
