International Year of Youth: Dialogue and Mutual Understanding

Tell us what you think! 

As students, we must never stop challenging the inequalities and the imbalance of power in our world.  The International Movement of Catholic Students – Pax Romana believes that it is within our reach to bring about change for the better in our globalized world.  In living a spirituality of action modelled by Jesus Christ, Catholic students pursue authentic human development and social justice through action at grassroots, as well as the national and global levels.  We are students.  We are leaders in our own right and we claim ownership of our collective future.  We are stakeholders in what is called “global governance.”  Click here for more about the next issue of the Forum magazine.  EXTENDED Deadline: 18 April 2010.  Thank you!
