More Information And Documents
SDM (Maltese Christian Democrat Students) was founded by a group of University students in 1974. SDM finds its origins as a student organization in the troubled political period of the time. One of the main aims of the founders was that, during a period when freedom of expression was not always respected, the University students and those students in other Post-Secondary Institutions be given the opportunity to express their opinions, to have a voice, not only in political issues connected to the education system, but also in national politics. Today, this has remained one of SDM's main objectives. SDM encourages and recognizes the contribution of students to the University and society in general. As a student organization, SDM is the ideal forum where every student can learn how to express his ideas whilst giving a valid contribution to our lives as students. Aims and Principles SDM is a dynamic organization and is open for change. Having said this, SDM finds its roots in a number of fundamental principals on which it was formed by a group of Christian Democrat Students back in 1974. "Democracy" because SDM believes in the liberty of the individual, in participation, representation, subsidiarity and in all the implicationsfound in the definition of the word. "Christian" because SDM is an organization which believes that the value of the human person come before every other consideration, whether it is social or economic. SDM works towards: * Creating a social conscience amongst Maltese students. * Bringing together the Christian Democrat Students in Malta and, through them, promoting the values and ideals of Christian Democracy. * Ensuring that the rights of Maltese students are maintained. * Promoting the political and social participation of students on University, National and International levels. An Organization Run by Students for Students SDM is the oldest and largest political organization in the University of Malta. As a member of SDM, you can voice your opinion. On a national political level - through fora, discussions and seminars organized so that students are encouraged to participate. On an international political level - through participation in EDS (European Democrat Students) which SDM is a member of. EDS is the international forum for organizations like SDM all over Europe. EDS offers SDM members traveling opportunities. In KSU (University Students' Council) and in KSJC (Junior College Students' Council). Every year SDM nominates a number of its members to be elected in these Executives. In activities of Culture and Entertainment - Apart from its political activities, SDM is known for various cultural and leisure activities that are organized during the year. Amongst these activities one finds parties, football tournaments and seminars. On a journalistic level through the Stream (Newspaper) and Solidarjetà (Magazine) publications. These publications give useful information about Christian Democracy and its principles, analyses of latest political issues, and all items which are of interest to the Maltese and Gozitan students in the University of Malta and foreign tertiary institutions.- |
