Presidium Convent (Prezidiju Konvents) also known as P!K! is an umbrella organization of all-male academic corporations in Latvia. It was founded in 1919.[1]

History

[edit]

Presidium Convent (English: Convention of Presidencies of Latvian Students) was established on September 27, 1919, almost together with the University of Latvia.[1] However it de facto started work only in the autumn of 1920, after the Latvian War of Independence ended. The founders of Presidium Convent were the five oldest Latvian student corporations: Fraternitas Moscoviensis (later called Fraternitas Lettica), Lettgallia, Lettonia, Selonia (Selonija) and Talavija.[2]

In the interwar period many new Latvian student corporations were admitted to Presidium Convent. In the 1920s, all Baltic-German corps were admitted, including Curonia, Concordia Rigensis, Fraternitas Baltica, Fraternitas Rigensis, Gotonia, and Rubonia. In 1932, they all left in protest at a decision that the Latvian language must be used in Presidium Convent meetings.[2]

After Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940, the Presidium Convent was closed, like other Latvian student organizations. After World War II, most of Latvian student corporations renewed their work in exile. In such conditions, it was impossible to renew the Presidium Convent in its pre-war shape. In 1949, the global organization Union of Latvian Corporations (Latvian: Latvijas Korporāciju apvienība) was formed to unite all Latvian student corporations in exile.[2]

Presidium Convent was restored in Latvia in 1990.[2] As of 2024, it includes 23 Latvian and Russian student corporations.[1] Its headquarters is in Riga, Latvia.[1]
