2018 JCI European President Meeting – Zagreb, Croatia





JCI Zagreb is thrilled to host the first annual gathering of JCI National Presidents from Europe in 2018 and it is our honor to invite you to Zagreb! The event is being organized under the High Auspices of the President of the Republic of Croatia at the time when JCI Zagreb also celebrates its fifth birthday.

The European Presidents Meeting (EPM) will take place from February 8th – 12th 2018 at the Westin Hotel which is conveniently situated in Zagreb’s city center, next to Mimara Museum and the National Theatre and Opera House; within walking distance to the main square, food market, many cafés and restaurants, boutiques and museums.

The Westin Hotel is a five-star hotel, equipped with absolutely everything that one serious congress hotel should have - our program will be held in the congress room on the 17th floor. In case you want to relax after that, you will have an opportunity to do so in the hotel’s wellness and spa center or alternatively, you can join some of our interesting social activities.

For all JCI delegates who are interested in participating in our event but do not hold the position of national presidents, our COC team is organizing a special program for them that will include visits to the most successful Croatian companies, as well as places of natural beauty in the Zagreb county area.

This event is organized with the support of our partners: Zagreb Tourist Board, Westin Hotel Zagreb, Coca-Cola HBC Croatia, Emil Frey Auto Center, Heineken Croatia, Atlas Agency, and Kontra Agency.

Inside the Brussels bubble: Two reviews of the JCI EUKHT

We asked two participants of the 2018 JCI European Know-How Transfer to tell us about their overall experience. Read their stories here:     "No woman, no panel" “No woman, no panel” took my full attention during my visit of the European Parliament. I was trying to find out what it means in this context. 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

Application Deadline April 11th - 2018 JCI European Academy

This years' JCI European Academy will be from the 17th to the 21st of August in Gothenburg, Sweden. The JCI European Academy offers trainings in various topics related to leadership. It is a fantastic chance to develop the JCI organization at a local, national and international level. For example, the international network that is created during the Academy can be the foundation of a sustainable cooperation among JCI Local Organizations across the country borders of Europe. The web application for participants has already opened and we have already heard back from a lot of countries. Still, there are quite a few countries left we have not heard of.

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. This is not something you can learn from text books or promotional brochures of the European Union. Personally, I also enjoyed the time I got to spend with my host Liisa Jaakonsaari, Fin
