Kristianstad Student Union actively works to promote student engagement, and one way we influence this is through the Swedish National Union of Students (SFS).
This organization has worked since 1921 to promote active student engagement for all student unions that are members of SFS.
The main task of SFS is to conduct student policy work primarily at the national level, but also at the international level.
Through membership in SFS, students in Kristianstad have the opportunity to make their voices heard and influence matters at the national level.
Student Influence in Sweden
Kristianstad Student Union is part of a smaller coalition called SamS (Collaborating Students).
Within this group, discussions are held in preparation for the SFS General Assembly, and our views are gathered to be brought to the SFS Assembly each year.
Within SamS, we work together with Blekinge Student Union, Dalarna Student Union, Union, Gotland Student Union Rindi, the Student Union in Skövde, the Student Union in Östersund, the Student Union in Sundsvall, and the Student Union at University West.
