Overview The 2017 JCI World Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands offered delegates the opportunity to learn new skills, take responsibility for creating a better world and focus on the Global Goals for Sustainable Development. Hosted through collaboration between JCI Orange (the Netherlands) and JCI, the event featured workshops, skills development trainings, forums and special keynotes focused on four Global Goals: #4 Quality Education, #8 Decent Work and Economic Growth, #10 Reduced Inequalities and #13 Climate Action.

International delegates seized the opportunity for a true Dutch experience by participating in a variety of programming in neighboring cities including The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam. Along with dozens of skills development sessions based on the four Global Goals of the World Congress, delegates had the opportunity to participate in a session about World Class Manager, a web-based leadership development platform offered to JCI through the Global Growth Institute, as well as a session called “How to Fund Your Impact Projects” that featured a group of JCI partners who provided insight to JCI members about how to best collaborate with other organizations to maximize impact.

Notably, the WeDo 2030! Festival included a full day of engaging keynotes and panels and interactive activities focused on the Global Goals. Former UN Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Kofi Annan spoke to delegates about the important responsibility youth must both develop their skills as leaders and unite with fellow change makers to build a better future.

The JCI Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World (JCI TOYP) Honorees shared their stories and inspired delegates during the JCI TOYP Workshop: Collaborating for Impact.

These extraordinary individuals were recognized for their incredible achievements in creating sustainable impact in their communities and across the globe during the 2017 JCI Awards Ceremony featuring the JCI TOYP Honorees. During the ceremony, JCI members, Local Organizations and National Organizations united to celebrate each other, as awards for the most outstanding examples of positive change were presented by the group of past JCI Presidents as well as JCI President Dawn Hetzel.

The 2017 JCI Board of Directors, 2017 JCI National Presidents and Chief Delegates conducted the official business during General Assembly.
