IYCS JECI

🌟 Celebrating 80 Years of Global Student Faith in Action! 🌟

2026 marks 80 years of international coordination of the Young Catholic Students (IYCS–JECI)! While the JEC-YCS movement was founded in 1928, it was in September 1946 at Fribourg, Switzerland, that representatives from eight countries came together, establishing the foundation for international coordination. This led to the creation of the International YCS Secretariat in Paris, supporting student movements worldwide and promoting the Faith-Life-Action experience.

To commemorate this milestone, we are proud to unveil the official 80th Anniversary Logo of IYCS–JECI.

Design Credit: The logo was created by Mr Richard Agbeva from JEC Benin.

Let’s celebrate 80 years of Faith-Life-Action and continue empowering students to lead, serve, and transform the world!

🎁🌟 Merry Christmas! 🌟🎁
