International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS) was founded in 1921 under the name of Pax Romana by Catholic tertiary students from 23 countries from different parts of the world with the purpose of contributing to build peace and justice in the world. IMCS Pax Romana brings together national federations, associations and movements of Catholic university/tertiary students with a shared mission of mobilizing for faith and action. As a youth-led youth movement, IMCS promotes student leadership and responsibility in life, the Church’s mission and in the world. While the name and structure of each national movement within IMCS often differs from country to country, IMCS members are united by our spirituality of action and a shared commitment to the option for the poor, the marginalized and creation, our common home. Currently IMCS has more than 88 national member movements and federations coordinated by six regional secretariats and the international office based in Paris, France. IMCS has regional offices in four continents: IMCS Africa (Nairobi, Kenya); IMCS Asia Pacific (Manila, Philippines); JECI-MIEC Europe (Brussels, Belgium); and MIEC-JECI Latin America (Quito, Ecuador).
