Frit Forum - Social Democratic Students of Denmark (Danish: Frit Forum – socialdemokratiske studerende, or just Frit Forum) is the student organization of the Danish Social Democrats.
After peaking in the 1950s and 1960s, it was struck by the radicalization of the political left among Danish students. As in Germany and Sweden, several members left for radical movements on the left, but in opposition to the Studentersamfundet [dk] or the Studenterforeningen [dk], Frit Forum survived, primarily as a result of being merged with the social democratic youth organization DSU in 1973.
In 2003, this caused a conflict within the organization, as the DSU felt Frit Forum was not fulfilling its obligations at the universities. Instead, they threatened to launch a new social democratic Student network, called SSN. Following devastating internal disputes, it was saved by the president of the Danish Social Democrats, Mogens Lykketoft, himself being former president of Frit Forum.
Since then, the climate between the two organizations has bettered. Over the years, Frit Forum has held meetings and conferences with both the Labour Students (England) and S-studenter (Sweden).
