MAY ISSUE

MONTHLYDIGEST a summary of what is happening in the world JB-wise

GOVERNING BOARD ELECTIONS 2013 Through myCISV (the new ‘CISV Friends’) the Elections Committee is facilitating a forum with all the Governing Board candidates.

Some questions will be asked from now until elections at AIM and all candidates will be able to answer them.

That’s one way to get to know the candidates. Also, stay tuned for some videos.

IJBC Our International Conference starts in the beginning of August!

We’d like to remind you that if you are underage you need to bring a special form.

PEACE ONE DAY Wohooo! The first infopack for peace one day is here.

Read it, share it, like it and looove it! This year it’s one day, one action. What action will you take? And who will you make peace with?

Stay connected through their facebook page.

MOSAIC PROJECT Did you ever think how 250 active global citizens could impact a community?

We did. And we are very excited for testing it out.

We invite all participants of AJBM, IJBC and AIM 2013 to join our Mosaic project “Because Dignity Is A Human Right”. And the first step is a donation campaign we are doing for our partner organization.

Check out our campaign flyers and find out what donations can you bring and other information.

So? Are you ready to make a difference?

JB SET «jbset@ijb.cisv.org.»

JB SET is a goal-based evaluation tool we use to help develop JBs by finding out our strengths and weaknesses.

An email was sent out to all NJRs with the links to JB SET for both NAs and local chapters. NJRs then forwarded the local JB SET to their NA’s chapters (LJRs, if available). The deadline for JB SET was extended until the 27th of June!

The Brazilian National Junior Branch Meeting was awesome.

They even had some special guests! Want to know who they were?

Check out what happened there at this Facebook page!

RIGHT ON The theme for Right On Step #3 (May/June) is ‘The Age Issue’: Let’s raise awareness of Human Rights protection and violations that can be especially relevant to different age groups, while considering the universality of Human Rights.

We encourage participants to put the Attitudes, Skills and Knowledge they gained through Step #3 to practice in CISV programmes they might be attending this summer.

Why not tailor Human Rights education activities to target groups in a specific age group?

Until mid-July, CISV’s Human Rights Education Team is offering Skype sessions about all of CISV International’s Human Rights material for 2013.

MED NIGHTS ARE BACK!

This is the moment that everyone was waiting for: Meditteranean Neighbourhood reestablished their workshop! After WWW, Go East and Nice Weekend, (not to mention other workshops happening around the year in Europe) there is time for medhood.

Write it down in your calendars: 27th-30th December in Koprivnica, Croatia, there’s going to be JB training connected with educational content of next year: diversity.

Designed for medhood first, we’re going to have 5 international spots in the first round.

Stay tuned for the first infopack that’s going to be released soon and get in touch with your NJRs if you want to apply!

IJRS TALK: IJB POLLS Maybe you have seen that we started polls on the IJRs page of Facebook. We are willing to collect information and points of view on some topics that will be discussed at AIM and that will impact IJB. As representatives of all JBers we would like to hear your voices and your opinions, thus this very informal polls on Facebook.

We believe it's important to make clear that whatever result appears on the polls doesn't mean a definite decision, but these are just informal ways for us to hear the voices of JBers.

The first one has already happen and it was about Governing Board elections. You can find the second one here.

AIM 2013 MOTIONS It’s important that everyone is aware of them, specially if you are coming to IJBC, where we are going to discuss them a lot.

You can find these at Resources.

Search for «2013 Motion» and all of them will appear.
