ISSUE 3: COLLABORATE
Congress News Thursday, November 27, 2014 Todays Theme: COLLABORATE
COLLABORATE to Unite for Change. Collaborate is unite. Collaborate is partnerships. Unite for common goals. Partner for community development. Collaborate for mutual impact. Collaboration focused on sharing resources, expertise, knowledge, experience and power. Collaborate to engage like-minded active citizens across all sectors of society. Today’s theme is collaborate. What does collaborate mean to you? Today’s World Congress sessions, events and workshops will answer this question and more as Congress delegates advance collaboration through partnerships across all sectors of society. The third and final JCI Morning Show starts the day with a focus on collaboration, debuting the third JCI 100th Anniversary video and featuring a past JCI Ten Outstanding Young Person of the World honoree for his expertise on why collaboration is key to creating world peace. For further discussion of this topic, be sure to attend the Peace and Prosperity Forum to share ideas and actions for peacekeeping solutions across local communities. In the afternoon, JCI National Presidents and Chief Delegates gather for General Assembly II to elect the JCI international leadership for 2015. This evening, JCI Japan hosts JCI Japan Night for a fun opportunity to mingle with fellow delegates and get a taste of Asian culture here in Leipzig. Use each activity and experience today to think more about how JCI will bring together like-minded partners to expand mutual impact.

Nothing But Nets Director Chris Helfrich, Judith Prigge from the UNHCR, Pauline Mazue from the Global Fund, 2012 JCI President Bertolt Daems and JCI Deputy Secretary General Arrey Obenson share their experiences and expertise in uniting all sectors of society in the fight against malaria. In further support of JCI Nothing But Nets, delegates dance all night while raising more than US $25,000 for the campaign at the Nothing But Nets night hosted by JCI the Netherlands and JCI Japan presented US $177,686.81 in donations at the JCI Morning Show.
