A Strong Voice for Students and Youth

The World Congress  places current and future students and youth at the core of efforts to improve access to, and success in, post-secondary education worldwide.

Our student and youth initiatives are currently led by Florian Kaiser, who was the representative of the European Student Union on the Executive Committee of the European Access Network 2012-2013. Contact Florian. 

Student and Youth Ambassadors

During 2012-2013 we appointed ‘Student and Youth Ambassadors’ in many regions of the world.

These Ambassadors work in their local region to create interest and enthusiasm for the work of the congress, encourage participation in activities and events and to enable participation by raising funds and securing sponsorship. They may also organise local events or projects.

The student and youth ambassador programme is currently being revised and a new programme will be announced shortly.

World Congress Scholars

Our ‘World Congress Scholar’ programme supports a small number of students and young people from around the world to carry out research projects on access issues in their local region .  Award recipients for 2012-2013 presented their projects during the Montreal 2013 Congress.
