In other news, SWA is excited to announce the unveiling of a completely renovated discussion forum in the upcoming weeks! The discussion forum is one of the main pillars of SWA's commitment to encouraging dialogue among student activists worldwide, and it is therefore crucial that it be modern, user-friendly, and highly active. The new forum will feature member profiles, a sleek and modern outlook, and a complete restructuring that we hope will inject new life into the discourse on important issues and events of international concern.

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.
