Belarus - Belarus Student Association (BSA)

The BSA is one of the oldest youth organisations in Belarus. It was founded as an anticommunist youth organisation at the end of 80s. The first communities appeared in BSU, BSMU and BSPU. The BSA has taken an active part in daily life of students, planned some actions against ideologisation of education and advocated learning the history of communistic party as compulsory subject. In 1992 the BSA was officially registered in the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus as the “Republican Youth Public Association “Belarusian Students’ Association”. In 1999 the BSA became a friend of the ESIB (now ESU – the European Students’ Union).
