Developement co-operation
SYL has a long history of development co-operation and solidarity
work. For example until 1993 SYL used to run scholarship programmes
for students from developing countries to study in Finland. SYL has
had co-operation with many different organisations around the world
like SWAPO and ANC.
At the moment SYL co-operates with the association for Maya University
Students in Guatemala
(AMEU) in
running training seminars for Maya students and in Zambia with
the Kanyama Youth Programme Trust (KYPT) in running vocational education
for young people and especially women.
In Finland SYL has an important
role in keeping up a discussion on development issues among the
students. SYL is also a member of development organisations such as
the Service Centre for Development Co-operation and is e.g. a founding
member of the Refugee Advice Centre.
