| - | Our story begins in the 1920s, when liberal youth organizations from around the world started coming together for international meetings, planting the seeds of a global movement. It wasn’t until 1947, however, that we officially took shape. At a historic gathering in Cambridge, United Kingdom, the World Federation of Liberal and Radical Youth (WFLRY) was born—the first international platform for liberal youth. | + | Our story begins in the 1920s, when liberal youth organizations from around the world started coming together for international meetings.

| At the time, WFLRY was predominantly European in scope, but the vision of global liberal collaboration began to spread. In 1969, the European Federation of Liberal and Radical Youth (EFLRY) emerged as a regional alternative. By 1978, it became clear that the world didn’t need two organizations with overlapping missions. WFLRY was dissolved, and a year later, in Silkeborg, Denmark, EFLRY transformed into what we know today as the International Federation of Liberal and Radical Youth (IFLRY). | At the time, WFLRY was predominantly European in scope, but the vision of global liberal collaboration began to spread.
