About Us

In 2021, as the International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS) Pax Romana celebrated
its centenary, global tertiary Catholic students gathered to discuss their commitment to
sustainability, peace, and justice. Looking forward to the next 100 years, they envisioned ways
to share their gifts with the world, leading to the inception of the groundbreaking initiative,
“Pax Romana Institutes.”
At the heart of this initiative is the IMCS’s firm dedication to realizing its global vision of
creating a peaceful, just, inclusive, and green world. To achieve this vision and leverage their
unique geographical advantages, the IMCS Asia Pacific secretariat took the lead. T established
the International Youth Training Centre (IYTC) in the enchanting city of Chiang Mai,
Thailand, in collaboration with the Brothers of St. Gabriel Foundation, Thailand, and the Non-
Formal Education office of the Ministry of Education, Thailand.

The primary objective of IYTC was to foster youth leadership, creation justice, and spirituality
of action. By providing a nurturing and supportive environment, IYTC aims to empower
students of all ages through capacity building and training for social transformation.
Central to IYTC’s mission is the development of youth leadership. Recognizing the potential
within young individuals to become agents of positive change, the Centre offers specialized
training programs that equipped them with essential skills, knowledge, insights, and experience.
These future leaders would carry the torch of sustainability, justice and fraternity, creating a
lasting impact on their communities and the world.
