THE CALLING
It's time to think globally! Today the Junior Enterprise Movement exists in over 40 countries, being in several of them a very well structured alternative to fill gaps between the labor market and the Universities. Despite the strong performance and global reach, we still see much of the Junior Entrepreneurs restricted to a local performance. Whether about projects, events or experience and networking exchanges, the World JEM lacks a collective consciousness and is not as connected as it could be. We believe it is necessary to understand that the Junior Enterprises worldwide are inserted in an environment, and it is fundamental to comprehend the impact they have on it. While in each country, there are specific features that shape the JEs network there, there are global problems that require collaborative global solutions. The JEWC, as a driving force of the JEM in the world, has an important role in assisting Junior Entrepeneurs to understand this context and making them conscious about the problems that are around us. When talking about the Junior Enterprise World Conference, it is necessary to understand the function and the impact it has in the alignment of JEM in the world toward Global necessities. Through the Global Goals, goals which represent the main challenges of the world for sustainable development to be overcome by 2030, we believe that it is possible get a good picture of those needs.
Challenge As a way of sharing best practices, it is common for events held by Junior Enterprise Movement to have spaces for cases presentations. Through them, the Junior Enterprises have the opportunity to help each other so that they can overcome difficulties and continue their growth. Therefore, we propose a challenge to Junior Enterprises around the world: to understand the impact our projects have on global challenges and identify scalable ways to make this impact grow. In the following pages, you will be guided along a journey that supports your Junior Company in comprehending how it connects to the Global Goals and how it can be shared with the JEM. Today we launch the JEWC 2016’s Global Cases. A project that is part of the Global Challenge and will mark history in the world Junior Enterprise Movement and the lives of thousands of people affected.
Welcome to Global Cases!
GLOBAL GOALS
On September 25, 2015, 193 countries in the General Assembly of United Nations approved a new development agenda. Entitled "Transforming Our World: Sustainable Development Agenda to 2030", this agenda has 92 paragraphs describing 17 goals and its 169 related indicators. To learn more about these goals, explore the following links: OďŹƒcial Website: globalgoals.org Global Goals explained - Part 1: jewc2016.com/en/global-goals-explained-part-i/ Global Goals explained - Part 2: jewc2016.com/en/global-goals-explained-part-ii/ Global Goals explained - Part 3: jewc2016.com/en/global-goals-explained-part-iii/ Global Goals explained - Part 4: jewc2016.com/en/global-goals-explained-part-iv/
GLOBAL CASES
The Global Goals are commitments made to a future in which human relations are in proper balance with the environment in which they operate. To reach them, it will be necessary a collaborative power that involves nations, acting in global scale, as well as organizations, fostering micro revolutions in their specific contexts. Of course, there are JEs with services that fit in several Goals. JEs of Engineering design projects of local infrastructure improvements and deployment of alternative energy resources, which relates to the Goals #9 and #7, respectively, whereas there are JEs of Biology and Oceanography which have a stronger relationship with the Goals #14 and #15 of Life Below Water and Life on Land. And that makes sense as their purpose and their area already have a close relationship with them. However, what is common to all Junior Enterprises in the world is the eighth Global Goal: Good Jobs and Economic Growth. Before venturing into a not so direct Goal, the JEs need to offer exceptional services that can impact local and global economy. We believe that to have an impact on our planet, it is essential that organizations acknowledge what they can make the best of themselves and that it represents something aligned with their purpose. Instead of making less relevant projects for each Goal, we can have a much greater capacity of change by focusing on those that are more important and intrinsic to our organizations. Thus, the Global Cases correspond to projects developed by EJs that provide the greatest impact to the customer, thus ensuring more employment opportunities, economic growth, local competitiveness and thereby increasing the local communities quality of life. We want to find the JEs that have generated the greatest impact so they can share their journey with the Global Network.
THE JOURNEY
1. Learn more about the Global Goals Find out more about the Global Goals, especially the eighth objective, and understand how the projects of your JE relate to it.
2. Go back to past Review recent projects developed by your JE. Understand the results of each of them and which generated more impact on contributing to the achievement of this global objective.
3. Understand the project better When you’ve chosen your project, try to better understand it. What was the challenge? How the project was carried out? What are the learnings you can obtain from it? Think about which indicators can better show the impact of the project and evaluate its results. The better quantiďŹ ed, the clearer will be the impact of this project.
6. Share your experience The best evaluated experiences will be selected and will have a unique space in the programming of JEWC 2016, so they can share their learnings with the other attendees.
5. Build a learning experience Projects selected in the first phase will receive mentoring with the JEWC 2016’s Partners, so that they can build a out of common experience for congressmen.
4. Share your results Now that you deeply understand your JE’s project, it is time to share it with the world. Write a document and record a video about it, as presented in the “Contents” section. Be creative with the video, do something out of the ordinary that catches our attention and passes the message.
Conditions of Participation All Junior Enterprises confederated to the nation confederation of its respective country are able to participate in the Global Case, being allowed to send up to two cases. Regarding the alignment with the guidelines of the Junior Enterprise Movement, projects that have been carried out free of charge will not be considered, and if necessary, documents proving the veracity of the information may be requested by the OrganizingTeam. Every case must have at least a Junior Entrepreneur as representative, being limited to a maximum of two. In order to compete, the representatives don’t need to be previously registered in the event. Thus, after the last stage, those selected will have a guaranteed spot in the event. The costs for those spots will be in the responsibility of the case’s representatives. Following the release of the results, the those selected in the last stage will have a deadline stipulated by JEWC 2016’s Team to confirm attendance to the event. If this confirmation does not occur within the time limit, it will be considered forfeit and another case will be selected.

1. Document 1.1. Structure The document will be the primary way of verifying the results and impact achieved by the project. Therefore, it should be a simple description about the project, focusing on the results delivered and the impact created by it. The document size limit is three pages, plus an specific one for the cover page. It will also be allowed to add two more pages for attachments. The document must be written regarding the following sequence of topics:
1.1.1. Challenge Present the context in whichthe need of the project arose, what was the situation of the organization at that time and what were the expected results. 1.1.2. Project Explain how the project was developed, what were the challenges faced in its implementation and how did you overcome them. 1.1.3.

The video can not exceed 150 seconds (2.5 minutes) and should be available in .avi format. Except that, there are no restrictions regarding the structure and presentation of the video.
