  1. Call for Preparatory Committee Members

    Would you like to organize a WSCF Europe Solidarity Conference?

    Are you interested in the topic of Human Trafficking?

    Would you like to practise faith in a very intense and practical way?

    If you answered “yes” for all these three questions,  the completed application form and become a member of our Solidarity Conference preparatory committee (prepcom).  A recommendation from your SCM or another youth organisation you have worked with is an advantage. We cannot wait to get to know you better!

    WSCF Europe will gather in October 2013 in the charming Austrian village of St. Gilgen to discuss the different aspects of Human Trafficking, Society and Sexuality. We hope this will be the most interactive and practical solidarity conference of the last period! We are really looking forward to work together with SCM members who feel dedicated to the topic and who would like to create a wonderful and exciting spiritual and intellectual experience.

    We encourage you to apply especially if you

    • are full of ideas
    • are a team player

  2. Call for Applications for ERC candidates search committee

     Diversity is our gift, help us to let it shine!

    WSCF Europe draws its vitality from the diversity of its members. The broad range of denomina­tional, cultural and social backgrounds that our members bring to our events and the wealth of contacts across all these different lines of identity that our network allows, are at the heart of who we are as an organisation. Another key value of WSCF Europe is participation and empowerment: we, as a movement, are shaped by the ideals and the initiative of our members; we rely on their input and their inspiration to be who we are. To bring these two values, diversity and empower­ment, together is a key challenge that we are continuously working on.

    The main task ahead to put this commitment into practice is to mirror the broad range backgrounds of our members in the election of the new European Regional Committee (ERC) coming up at the European Regional Assembly (ERA) in Austria in October 2013. The ERC is the main operative body of WSCF Europe and is responsible to run our programmes, interpret our vision, sustain our network and develop relations to our partners.

    To support our efforts to assure a denominational, regional and gender balance for the new ERC, the last ERA has decided to create a search committee for ERC candidates. The search committee will consist of three to five members and its task it will be to work with SCMs to find suitable candidates for each of the nine different ERC positions that the ERA delegates will then make a choice from. In that way to make sure that the elections that will be held in Austria next year will result in a well-balanced ERC that mirrors the full range of our movement’s diversity and inspiration.

     

    Required background

    • Involvement in and endorsement by local/national Student Christian Movement
    • Experience of WSCF Europe events
    • Strong connection to WSCF Europe’s values of ecumenism and inclusivity
    • Sensitivity to cultural and denominational diversity

     

    If you are interested, please send your CV and a letter stating your motivation to (ERC fundraising coordinator) and (ERC campaigns coordinator).
