Slovenia - Mladi Forum


From the Manifesto of Mladi forum SD
„Mladi forum of Social Democrats (Mladi forum SD) is a modern
social democratic youth movement, whose view of the world is based on
the values of freedom of every individual; solidarity as a foundation
of social integration, equal rights of all people, especially equal
rights of genders; tolerance towards differences; internationalism and
the right to security in all of its forms. Mladi forum follows these
views by implementing its policies and activity in local, regional,
national and international levels. We are a Slovene socialist youth
movement and a prominent member of the family of European and global
socialist youth.
Our understanding of the human being is founded on the belief that one
is an interpreter of social reality. As such one is always a
politicised subject, as politics is always created in the broadest
sense of the phrase: Everything happening among people.
Thus Mladi forum is a society of individuals who are aware that they
not just interpreters, but also create social reality. Who are
searching for happiness in every moment and joy in every human being.
Who accept diversity and are not afraid of non-understanding and
opposition. Who know no enemies and do not divide themselves to red and
black, left and right, cowboys and Indians, ours and theirs, religious
and non-religious, but wish to enter a new millennium with peaceful
cohabitation of everyone. Who do not accept artificial divisions,
because the world is not black and white, but colourful. Who understand
politics as the art of dealing with people’s emotions and feeling
and are thus not afraid of their own emotions. Who reject all kinds of
violence and do not impose their opinion to others. Who…"
Mladi forum SD is a youth, political and non-governmental organisation.
A youth organisation, because it consists of young people between the
ages of 15 and 32. A political organisation, because it is a
youth organisation of a political party and wants to be constructively
involved in the shaping of political space. And it is a
non-governmental organisation, as it is not a part of governmental
structures and acts within the civil society with independence and
autonomy.
