2017 JCI European Know-How Transfer


Register for now for the 2017 JCI European Know-How Transfer!




The application for this year’s JCI European Know-How Transfer is open now!
Sign up and be part of the JCI European Know-How Transfer from October 8-12, 2017 in Brussels.

The JCI European Know-How Transfer is an exchange program between young active citizens and European decision makers. The program allows participants to take part in the European decision-making process by direct communication with Members of the European Parliament. At the same time, Parliamentarians learn from socially responsible young leaders and entrepreneurs about challenges their constituency is facing. Thus, the project strengthens personal contacts and increases understanding between politicians, the business community and active citizens. This year’s exchange will deepen the conversation on the Integration of Refugees into the Labor Market. We will address this topic though inspiring key-note speeches and a food-for-thought debate panel.

This year's registration follows a thorough application process.

For more information check out this Brochure, visit www.jci.cc/eukht or watch this short video where JCI EUKHT COC Director Heidi Larsen presents the event for 2017.

Inside the Brussels bubble: Two reviews of the JCI EUKHT

I got my answer when in one of the committee meetings I was visiting, the chair mentioned that at the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality no voting will take place if there is an insufficient number of women participating at the meeting that have a voting right. Now it was getting even more exciting! I was shadowing Ms. Vilija Blinkeviciute, a great leader from my home country Lithuania and chair of the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality of the European Parliament. During our open conversations we touched the ground of women’s situation in the EU and discussed topics like domestic violence, economic life standards and life quali...

Experiencing the European Know-How Transfer - A participant's report

Lessons learned from the JCI European Know-How Transfer 2016 Almost 2 years have passed since I took part in the JCI European Know-How Transfer in Brussels. Those two years seem to have rushed by very fast as I can still remember the feeling of how it felt to be in a group of enthusiastic JCI members within the heart of European decision-making. For me the week offered an extensive outlook on how decision-making really happens on the European level - starting from lobbying the decision-makers in practice to cooperation between the European Parliament and the European Commission on setting directives. The best experience was that we really got the chance to learn from the people doing the actual daily work in Brussels and who had been involved in many of the decision-making processes for years.
