International
Chapter,
an
organization
under
the
Association
for
Nordic
Chiropractic
Students
(FNKS),
at
the
University
of
Southern
Denmark
(SDU)
The
23th
–
29th
of
August
2012,
another
succesfull
WCCS
Congress
were
held
in
Perth,
Western
Australia,
by
the
hosting
school
Murdoch
University.
International
Chapter
was
able
to
send
four
delegates
to
the
Congress
to
represent
SDU
as
the
Scandinavian
Chapter.
This
years
Congress
consisted
of
107
delegates
from
24
chiropractic
colleges
around
the
world
and
it
became
a
milestone
for
WCCS,
with

about
important
subjects
such
as

infrastructure,
communication
and
purpose.
International
Chapter
During
the
last
couple
of
years,
International
Chapter
has
developed
and
expaned
with
more
members
and
new
arrangements
in
addition
to
the
WCCS
Congress.
Due
to
this,
we
decided
in
September
last
year
to
rename
our
Chapter
from
WCCS-­‐Chapter
to
International
Chapter.
At
present,
we
are
eight
students
with
representatives
from
Denmark,
Sweden,
Norway
and
Germany.
We
are
a
strong
team,
who
enjoy
a
good
laugh
together
and
benefits
from
each
other
differences.
SDU
Delegation
The
Danish
Delegation
had
another
year
of
great
succes
at
the
Congress.
Our
proposal
this
year
was
about
having
a
discussion
about
the
content
of
the
annual
WCCS
Congresses.
A
couple
of
important
subjects
for
us
to
debate
were,
among
others,
the
delegates
expectations-­‐
and
content
of
the
Congresses
and
how
to
optimize
the
infrastructure
in
the
organization.
Already
pre-­‐Congress
we
got
support
from
the
Board
of
Directors
for
our
proposal
this
year
and
it
ended
up
being
incorporated
into
the
agenda
of
the
week.
One
of
our
primary
goals
was
to
bring
our
thoughts
and
ideas
forward
in
terms
of
the
content
of
future
Congresses.
We
wanted
to
shift
focus
from
mainly
addressing
proposals
to
include
more
academic
workshops,
speakers
and
presentations
around
the
various
member
colleges.
The
discussions
gave
the
Congress
a
more
dynamic
debate,
with
the
SDU
Chapter
taking
lead.
We
managed
to
put
the
members’
thoughts
in
motion
and
we
are
excited
to
see
the
future
development
of
the
Congresses.

2. WCCS
is
an
international
political
organization
with
over
30
member
colleges,
representing
over
22.000
chiropractic
students
across
fem
different
continents.
WCCS
was
founded
in
1979
and
has
since
been
held
annually.
The
Congresses
are
an
international
forum,
where
subjects
concering
chiropractic,
education
and
the
political
situation
in
different
countries
are
discussed.
The
Board
of
Directors
had
already
put
effort
into
optimizing
the
infrastructure
of
the
organization.
These
changes
will
hopefully
make
the
organization
more
transparent,
open
and
ensure
higher
quality.
Valuable
contacts
for
our
Chapter
Last
year
Congress
gave
a
lot
of
new
collaborators
for
our
Chapter.
One
of
them
is
the
Danish
Chiropractic
Association,
who
we
have
gained
a
lot
of
experience
from
concering
chiropractic
politics
and
lobbying
at
conventions
and
Congresses.
Furthermore,
our
Chapter
have
created
an
increased
cooperation
with
the
European
Chiropractors’
Union
and
developed
a
committee
with
one
representative
from
all
the
European
chiropractic
member
colleges
in
WCCS.
The
purpose
of
this
committee
is
to
improve
the
communication
between
students
and
chiropractors
in
Europe.
We
look
forward
to
a
continued
good
cooperation
with
all
parties.
The
continued
work
of
our
Chapter
Following
the
succesfull
Congress
we
now
look
forward
to
a
new
year
with
new
exciting
events,
such
as
lectures,
information
meetings,
chiropractic
events,
the
WCCS
Congress
2013
in
Durban
in
April
and
much
more.
Our
continued
rewarding
work
will
be
to
increase
cooperation
with
the
Scandinavian
chiropractic
associations,
recruit
new
members
and
to
raise
more
awareness
about
chiropractic
in
our
surroundings.
Thanks
to
International
Chapter
would
like
to
say
thank
you
for
the
invaluable
support
we
have
got
from
the
Faculty
of
Health
Science
at
University
of
Southern
Denmark,
the
Danish
Chiropractic
Association,
the
Association
for
Nordic
Chiropractic
Students
(?),
the
Swedish
Chiropractic
Association,
the
Norwegian
Chiropractic
Association
and
the
European
Chiropractors’
Union
as
well
as
all
the
sponsors,

and

that
have
supported
our
events
during
the
year.
