Vision

Mission

SSV provides the necessary framework in which (competitive) student sports can flourish in Flanders. SSV initiates, facilitates and organizes the necessary activities that lead to growth in participation in Flemish, Belgian and international student competitions.

SSV will also pay the necessary attention to non-sporting participation. Not only looking at the actual participants in the competitions and activities, but also at students who are involved in these activities. This includes volunteers/job students, students from a film school who film the competitions, marketing students who use social media to promote student sports, but especially the spectators and supporters who come along to lead “their team” to victory. to cheer and thus give extra cachet to the competitions.
SSV also provides the necessary initiatives to involve students from as many different institutions as possible in the cross-association student sports offer.
