What is MKSU?
By means of several activities throughout the year MKSU promotes Christian values on campus and takes initiative in social commitment. We lead a normal life based upon these values and in our daily student life we share with others God's love and hope. This happens through reaching out and accepting everyone, no matter what that person's colour, creed, sex, race, or belief is.
In a nutshell, it is as Pope John Paul expressed in September 2001: "I wish to make an earnest call to everyone, Christians and the followers of other religions, to work together to build a world without violence, a world that loves life, and grows in justice and solidarity." As Gandhi said, "We have to be the change we want to see!!!"
This means that whilst having fun and enjoy life together, we can respond to the Lord's call to be "salt of the earth and light of the world"- to be a sign of tolerance, love and hope on campus and elsewhere.
The movement is one of the oldest organisations on campus. Founded in 1929 it still serves as a voice for all Catholic students at various levels:
-
at University we are represented in the students' Commission for Social Policy (KPS) and on the Chaplaincy Council.
-
at national level we are represented on the Youth Council -KNZ
-
in ecclesiastical circles trough the Church's Forum For Lay Persons
-
at international level we are a full member of the European Coordination of Students' Catholic Movement; through this we have many opportunities to meet other students from different countries in various international seminars, conferences and exchanges to which MKSU is regularly invited.
