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.

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...

In this article Jordi shared his fascinating story with us. Along with JCI Reus, Jordi designed a program that could be useful and sustainable in tending to those displaced populations and quickly put into action. After several fund-raising efforts and with the indispensable collaboration of JCI Greece, in August 2016 the first team of 12 lifeguards was sent to the Kara Tepe refugee camp on the Greek island Lesbos, in the framework of a program that was called "From Reus to Hellas".
