A Little Bit About Us
The International Falcon Movement – Socialist Educational International is an international educational movement working to empower children and young people to take an active role in society and fight for their rights. We are an umbrella organisation for child and youth-led movements all over the world, educating on the basis of our socialist values of equality, democracy, peace, solidarity, co-operation, anti-capitalism and friendship. Through our member organisations and our international activities, we aim to ensure that children and young people are well informed about their rights and are empowered to ensure they are respected. We educate children and young people to be critical thinkers and active decision-makers in their lives. To reach this goal, we organise a variety of activities using non-formal education, participatory and inclusive methodologies including seminars, training courses, international camps and conferences.
IFM-SEI has a long history since being established in 1922 and having our very first international camp in the twenties.

Do you want to become a member?
Without our member organisations, we wouldn't exist and we are always looking for new partners to join our network. We are always keen to forge new partnerships with organisations that share our vision for an equal world in which children’s rights are fully respected and young people are able to participate actively in decision-making and society as a whole. We are a socialist movement and together with other progressive organisations we fight for a world where people are put before profit. Outlined below you can find the criteria for becoming a member of IFM-SEI, the benefits of being a member of IFM-SEI, and the responsibilities of member organisations.
