Syndesmos is the World Fellowship of Orthodox Youth. It is an international confederation of youth organisations, theological faculties and schools and other Orthodox bodies. It holds consultations, leadership training courses, community outreach programmes and projects of environmental protection, and educational projects and activities. Its aim is to unite Orthodox youth around the world through common efforts of good citizenship and Christian living. It has been operating since 1953. Currently its membership consists of around 120 movements in nearly 50 countries world wide. These movements vary in size but it would not be an exaggeration to say that collectively their membership would number over 100,000.
In the U.K. Syndesmos has been operating since 1972 and the British membership includes a Registered Charity. The Fellowship has conducted numerous projects and operated programmes in collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature, the Alliance of Religions and Conservation, the European Commission, the World Health Organisation and the Manchester-based International Consultancy on Religion, Education and Culture.
