The Association of Christian Colored Students in Austria (VCS) is a corporate association of Christian colored student corporations in Austria . The VCS was founded on October 24, 1992.

history

In 1983 the KHV Babenberg Vienna founded an association of friends of the Babenberg in the ÖCV . This Viennese association was transformed into the independent women's association Salia Babenberg Vienna in 1991 . In 1988, the independent women's association Juvavia Salzburg was founded in Salzburg based on a project by K.Ö.HV Rheno-Juvavia Salzburg in the ÖCV . In 1991 the women's association Elisabethina Vienna was founded , which is close to the country teams .

In order to establish contact with like-minded ladies, the Salia-Babenberg Vienna, Elisabethina Vienna and Juvavia Salzburg launched the Salzburg Student Days, where the concerns of female color students are better and more widely disseminated in public.

On May 29, 1992, these three associations and the Seraphina Graz in Vienna decided to found their own association. On October 24, 1992, the constituent general assembly of the VCS took place in Salzburg.

A year later, a relationship agreement was signed with the ÖCV and the KÖL in 1993 . In 1994 he was finally admitted to the EKV as a full member with voting rights . In 1995 there was also a friendship agreement with the Association of Colored Girls (VfM), as well as with the ÖKV and the MKV in 1996. Since 1996, the VCS has also been a member of the Working Group of Catholic Associations (AKV).

In 1994 the VCS was expanded to include the Lentia Danubia Astaris Linz (suspended) and the Koinonia Vienna . Academia Graz joined in 1999 and Arcadia Vienna in 2004 .

At the Central Festival in Appenzell in 2007 a relationship agreement was signed with the Swiss Student Association .

The VCS is committed to Christian social teaching , a democratic Austria and a united Europe .

Principles

The four principles of the VCS are “patria”, “religio”, “scientia” and “amicitia”.

  • Patria : Every democratic state lives through the responsibility of every citizen for the state. Active participation at all levels of the community is a civic duty. The roots in history and the democratic development of Austria are an essential basis for the further development of this community into a united Europe as a common fatherland.
  • Religio : The promotion of the Christian existence, the promotion of tolerance among the Christian denominations and the active shaping of one's own life based on the Christian faith in responsibility to God, people and creation.
  • Scientia : The education of its members is an important task for the VCS. Therefore, the completion of a university degree or a technical college is a prerequisite for a member to remain in a VCS association.
  • Amicitia : As a defining element of the association, personal friendship across all generations is a matter of course as a principle of life that goes beyond studying. Dealing with one another is shaped by responsibility for this lifelong spiritual and material obligation.

The VCS is regarded as the female equivalent of the ÖCV.
