European Regional Committee

 The European Regional Committee (ERC) is elected to carry the work of WSCF-Europe together with the WSCF-Europe members of staff. We are young volunteers, who are dedicated to the work and life of WSCF-Europe. Besides implementing the work suggested by the ERA, we work with the SCMs, other regions and partners. We get our mandate from the European Regional Assemblies (ERAs) that happen every other year.

Our main role is to manage the work of WSCF-Europe as the key decision-making body of the Federation in Europe between ERAs. The ERC consists of:

The Board:

Responsibilities:

  • Facilitate the work of ERC and Board
  • Keep an overview of the activities and projects of the region

  • Strategic organisational development

Hi everybody, I am Henriette Greulich. I am currently doing my master’s degree in political science at the university of Dresden and I am the Chairperson of WSCF-Europe as of November 2023.

In 2019, I first got in touch with WSCF-Europe participating in the study session on Youth Extremism in Utrecht and in 2022 I joined WSCF-Europe and served as the Programme Coordinator for one year. So far it has been a great experience.

In my role as Chairperson, my primary responsibilities are the coordination of the work of the European Regional Committee (ERC) as well as the board, strategic organizational development and of course networking with our partners. I am happy to get in touch with you and speak about our work and expertise and discover ways to start new collaborations or involve you in our mission.

Agge Angusson (Sweden) / exco1@wscf-europe.org

My name is Agge Angusson and I am from southern Sweden, currently living and studying in Lund. At Lund University, I have mostly studied Christian theology and more specifically religious philosophy. But I have also done gender studies.

Within my studies, I have had my main focus on gender equality and eco theology; but next to my studies, I have also been involved in issues of mental health as well as group dynamics, leadership and gender roles. My journey with WSCF-Europe started as a delegate from SCM Sweden, at the regional assembly of 2021. In 2023, I became a member of the Executive Committee, being one of two representing the European Region.

I am looking forward to working on a regional and a global level, with all my fellow WSCF siblings.

Feel free to contact me at exco1@wscf-europe.org.

Links Coordinator
Links CoordinatorSarah Eulitz (Germany) / links@wscf-europe.org

Hello everyone, I am Sarah and I am a student of Philosophy and Comparative Theology in Paderborn, Germany. Since 2021 I am engaged as the links coordinator of WSCF Europe.

My journey with WSCF Europe began in 2019 where I was a delegate for SCM Germany at the European Assembly in Copenhagen. It was my first international event with ecumenical interested students from all over Europe. I really loved the open-minded and supportive atmosphere of the event and decided to do an internship at the regional office in Trento in 2020. This insight in the structure of the organisation helped me with my current work in the European Regional Committee.

If you have any questions regarding movement-building, the possibility of a membership at WSCF or just want to connect with other SCMs feel free to contact me at links@wscf-europe.org.

Fundraising Coordinator
Fundraising CoordinatorPatrick Ramsey (United Kingdom) / fundraising@wscf-europe.org

My name is Patrick Ramsey. I was born in England, where I am now undertaking a PhD in mathematics at Lancaster University.

I first discovered WSCF in 2021, when I joined a working group to update the by-laws. At the following ERA, I was elected as vice-chair, and spent two years in this role. For the next two years, I will be responsible for ensuring WSCF-Europe is able to raise enough money to carry out the activities we want to do. I am currently thinking about how we can raise money from a wider range of sources. If you think you know of an organisation which shares our values, or if you want to donate personally, get in touch!
