The World in 2013 Documenting another year in Junior Branch World
Welcome! !
Keeping the tradition alive, and because not all reports have to be about events happening in the international sphere of Junior Branch, we bring to you today The World in 2013. The purpose of this lovely document is to inform all of CISV – all 212 local Chapters and Junior Branches, all 70 countries – of what and how Junior Branch has developed in the past year. Moreover, it shows a quick overview of what the IJB Team is currently cooking up in order to help you contribute to Junior Branch in 2014 and beyond.
!
We are all part of the Global Movement of CISV and these pages intend to walk you through some of the achievements we have had as such. Read through this brief report to find out more on initiatives and projects.

How this document is structured. It is brought to you by the three people who were CISV’s International Junior Representatives in 2013. In an attempt to innovate and move away from text, we made a brief leaflet, hopefully it will provide enough information to show the impact of Junior Branch in 2013. While this timeline does not come close to covering the activities of IJB in 2013, he hope it provides some insight. You can browse the JB Library for more in-depth documentation (www.ijb.cisv.org/library/ | username: ijb.guest | password: cisv4all). The moving forward section is specifically dedicated to all members of other CISV International Committees to see ways in which we can collaborate within our organisation.
!
These our are ideas on how IJB developed throughout the year. If you have more, you know where to find us.
