New Partnership: JCI Europe has partnered with Easy Signup


EasySignup will help you manage your events


We are happy to announce that JCI Europe has made a partnership with EasySignup, an online signup system that makes it easy to manage events and communicate with attendees. It can be used to organize events for members in a local chapter, a business event, a national conference, or even to collect membership fees.


The partnership makes it possible for national teams, regions and local chapters to use EasySignup for free!

What are your benefits?


Save time on event administration
- No manual e-mailing in relation to registration
- No copy/paste to spreadsheets

-> More time to spend time on planning and executing your events even better!

Great overview of events in your country
EasySignup makes it possible to create a combined national list of events, which is updated automatically. That gives a great overview of events, which is easy to communicate to members.
You can see an example of JCI Denmark here: https://jci.nemtilmeld.dk/

GDPR compliance – comply with the regulation
EasySignup is compliant with the regulation regarding the use of personal data! The system informs the attendees about how their personal data is processed and when the data will be deleted. It also means that personal data is deleted automatically.

Receive credit card payments
With EasySignup you can receive payments with credit cards, which makes it easy for attendees to pay when they sign up and easy for you to collect money.
When attendees pays with a credit card a transaction fee is subtracted from the event revenue. The fee is the direct cost that the credit card acquirer charges EasySignup, i.e. EasySignup does not make money on it.

The fees are:
Credit cards issued in EU: 1.15%
Credit cards issued outside EU: 2.0%

Easy to use system with guides and e-learning
EasySignup is quite easy to use. They have created user guides and an e-learning area so users are able to get started by themselves. Have a look at these links:
https://www.easysignup.com/support/e-learning/
https://www.easysignup.com/support/guides/

Languages supported currently:
English, German, French, Italian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian.
If you need another language you can get it, if you provide the translation.

Background info:
EasySignup has had a partnership with JCI Denmark since 2013 and has been in operation since April 2012. The partnership means that all local JCI chapters and the national organization in Denmark can use a sponsored license to EasySignup including our payment module free of charge.

How to get started:

Step 1:

- Create an account for the country's national team through this link:
https://www.easysignup.com/tema/jci-sponsorship/

Step 2:

Decide whether you want the combined national event list from the beginning.
If you would like the combined event list for your country:
Send an e-mail to thomas@easysignup.com where you ask for setting up a combined list of events for your country. EasySignup will create a group for your country in their system and give you a special link where local chapters can create their accounts.

Step 3:

Inform local chapters about the partnership.

The link to create accounts depends on whether you want the combined event list or not.
If not, local chapters can create accounts through the same link, which is:
https://www.easysignup.com/tema/jci-sponsorship/

Otherwise use the special link you get from EasySignup when you contact them.

From Reus to Hellas - A European Project that brings Hope for Peace

"From Reus to Hellas" is a project initiated by JCI Reus, and managed by JCI member Jordi Cervera Guasch, 25, from Reus, Catalonia, that aims to help young refugees stranded in refugee camps on Lesbos by providing sport and leisure activities. 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". "I have been in contact with the water since I was a child, swimming, training, and working as a lifeguard on the Catalan beaches every single summer since I was seventeen. After I had seen the images of the Syri...

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.

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...
