Youth Unite, for Lasting Peace

World Federation of Democratic Youth

In the closing stages of the second world war, in 1945, a group of delegates, representative of youth organisations in nearly all the countries which had fought for victory, met in London to discuss the future. Fresh in the memory of the bitter lessons of war and occupation, the congress was bound by a strong determination. The result was the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY). an organisation from 66 countries, representing a total membership of over 50,000,000—the largest international youth organisation ever known. Its slogan Youth Unite, for an everlasting Peace."

Since 1946. the VUC Students Association has been affiliated to WFDY. It is therefore important that students of VUC should know something of it. The voluminous and highly interesting correspondence, reports, and bulletins which are received in Exec Room almost every week are there for all students to see, and provide interesting reading at any time.
