1. What made you decide to join Students For Liberty?
When I was in high school, I became familiar with political views, communism, socialism, conservatism, anarchism, liberalism, etc. Reading political books hooked my interest instantly, and I couldn’t stop reading at that time.
Later on, I attended Liberty International 33 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. I became familiar with libertarian ideas and Students For Liberty during that conference. Many people who were attending the same conference then recommended for me to join SFL as a Local Coordinator.
2. What was your biggest accomplishment as a student leader with Students For Liberty?
So far, my biggest accomplishment would definitely be establishing a window of reach. This window allows me to reach out to students and help them to express their political ideas freely. After organizing a few but crucial events, I have become a leading local coordinator (according to the scoring system in SFL), and among the top 10 in my region, which makes me work more responsibly.
3. What are some of the best tools and resources Students For Liberty gave you?
Students For Liberty’s biggest advantage is, in my opinion, online based training programs. SFL is a non-governmental organization and holds events worldwide. In order to organize events in every corner of the world, it requires a big network and systematic work. So I am proud to say that SFL has every tool and resource you need to improve and progress.
4. What would you tell someone who’s considering getting involved?
Although I am not a consequentialist person, being involved in SFL is very beneficial. I am sure that you can learn many practical skills when organizing events and attending online courses. Secondly, SFL staff is so friendly and always there to help you. Wanna try joining now? It’ll cost you nothing.
5. What made you interested in the ideas of liberty?
The Father of Liberalism, philosopher John Locke, influenced me to see the world as a liberalist. Liberty is one of the most complex concepts in human history. As a law school student, I study such concepts as human rights, freedom, morality and equality from many different approaches. The more I study liberty, the more it amazes me.
6. What does liberty mean TO YOU?
Liberty is the most crucial value for me. That being said, liberty is one of the few unalienable and unconditional rights of us, as human beings. Once you have known the mysteries of liberty, it becomes everything to you.
