OUR AIMS AND PRINCIPLES

The aims and principles of IFM-SEI are the guiding principles for our global movement and our member organisations. These are fundamental to our organisations and sit at the core of our educational work.

Feminism

We are a feminist organisation fighting against patriarchy and for equality of all genders. We reject the gender binary and recognise there are more than two genders. We educate for equal rights and awareness of gender stereotypes, discrimination and privileges.

Equality & Inclusion

We educate and campaign for an inclusive and equal society. Therefore, we combat any kind of discrimination such as fascism, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, trans*phobia and misogyny within and outside of our organisations.

Non-Formal Education

Education is the most powerful tool to achieve social change. Through  non-formal education, we create a space for children and young people to develop critical awareness and empower them to challenge the inequalities in our world.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, at mei dolore tritani repudiandae.

The mission of IFM-SEI is to contribute to the education of young people, through socialist values and non-formal education, enabling children and young people to become critical thinkers and active decision-makers in their lives and communities. We believe that through empowering our members to bring about smaller, local changes we can bring about a bigger, further reaching change in society – we call this education for social change.

By 2025, our vision is to create more spaces within the movement where children and young people from different socio-economic backgrounds feel empowered to raise their voice and are able to actively and meaningfully impact and participate in decision-making process that affect their lives.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

CHILDREN’S RIGHTS

IFM-SEI should remain a key stakeholder in the fight for children’s rights across the world. Empowerment and awareness raising in relation to the rights of our members should be the cornerstone of children’s rights education. Each of our members should know their rights and be able to uphold and protect them.

SOCIALIST EDUCATION

IFM-SEI should foster shared socialist values with our members through non-formal and human rights education on local, national and international levels. This is our unique quality as a socialist educational movement.

PEACE EDUCATION

IFM-SEI should diversify the focus of peace education work and provide space for young people to develop skills, attitudes, values and knowledge to build sustainable, just, and supportive societies.

GROWING A GREENER FUTURE

IFM-SEI should keep promoting environmental sustainability from a socialist educational perspective while supporting young people in the crucial role they play in climate justice efforts by providing them with opportunities for engagement
