What is IFM-SEI?
The International Falcon Movement – Socialist Education International (IFM-SEI) is an international 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, delivering socialist education based on our values of equality, democracy, solidarity, peace, cooperation and anti-capitalism.
It is our firm belief that children’s voices are valuable in decision-making processes both on issues directly affecting them and on global issues. IFM-SEI’s non-formal education principles and methods aim to empower and equip children and youth to be active participants in civil society and to have their voices heard, despite their background.
Our Mission
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
