The International Council of CCI will be held at Joe Beach, Mamallapuram near Chennai, India on Wednesday, the 9th December 2015, the day following the CCI International Conference on 'Vatican 2+50: A Cardijn Perspective'.
It is a happy co-incidence that the first General Assembly of CCI was convened in Chennai, India in February 2008. The first International Team was elected at this General Assembly.
Ever since, the CCI has evolved as an international network present in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America with contacts in South America.
Foreseen as a South East Asian Meeting and Study program in Malaysia in August 2009, the gathering turned out to be a General Assembly of CCI wherein a new team was elected.
In July 2011, the 3rd General Assembly was held in Bangkok, Thailand with a larger participation of different countries. A new team was elected at this General Assembly.
In January 2012, the International Team which met at La Salle, P. J., Malaysia came up with a document outlining organisational procedures for CCI named 'Minimum Guiding Principles'.
