Working group for communication

The working group for communication is responsible for the internal and external communication of the JCI Leipzig. This includes working with the press, public relations, the creation of advertising material, communicating with members via newsletter or social media and the organisation of local events. This working group therefore supports JCI Leipzig and other working groups in terms of organisation, content and strategy.

 

The working group always meets together with the international working group on the second Monday of the month at 19:00 in different locations. Anybody interested in taking part is very welcome to come along.

Sport events

DrachenbootrennenThe concept of team work is very important to JCI Leipzig. We therefore enjoy taking part in sport events in the region whenever we have the opportunity. This also includes the annual marathon for businesses in Leipzig (Leipziger Firmenlauf), as well as the dragon boat race (Drachenbootrennen) in Leipzig and Halle, and the Central German JCI Cup, which we organise.

Seminars & Training

Personal and professional further education is a top priority for JCI Leipzig. For this reason, we regularly offer our members a number of training options relating to the different sectors. This includes seminars run by the umbrella organisation JCI, for example on presentation techniques. However, this also extends to debate courses and leadership seminars and even team building events. In general, these training courses are much cheaper or even free for JCI Leipzig members.

Running Dinner

RunningDinner3 courses, 3 locations, 3 cooks and a whole lot of fun. Every year in the autumn since 2012, we have organised a Running Dinner. We cook a set menu and the individual courses are then taken to the different locations. Some of the participants’ contributions are then donated to a good cause, for example in 2012, the money was put towards the JCI project Nothing but Nets, working to fight against malaria in Africa.

Central German Junior Chamber International Cup

WJ-CupSince 2005, the working group for entrepreneurship has been organising the Central German JCI Cup, which takes place every year. Businesses from the region and members are invited to play football for a good cause. The event takes place at Soccerworld at the Leipzig Old Trade Fair (Alte Messe Leipzig), where on this Saturday in April, up to 25 teams play indoor football against one another. Alongside providing an opportunity to have fun and to do some networking, this event supports a local project. Over the last few years, the Wege e.V. and the Freie Kindergarten Leipzig have benefited from the donations collected at the charity tournament.

JCI World Congress 2014

weko2014-leipzig_420pxThe idea to host the World Congress of the umbrella association JCI in Leipzig had already been conceived by JCI Leipzig in 2000.

In November 2012, the decision to hold the World Congress 2014 in Germany was announced during the JCI World Congress in Taipeh. Leipzig will therefore be the venue of this major German event. The JCI Leipzig und members from across Germany are voluntarily carrying out preparations for the World Congress which will take place from 24 to 29 November 2014.

 

 

Here are some impressions of the first day at the Worldcongress.

Green cooperation with JCI Zimbabwe

TetradSince 2011, in cooperation with the Tetrad Tree Foundation, JCI Zimbabwe has planted almost 102,000 trees in Zimbabwe. In 2012, we successfully established a project in Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe. This project was so successful that even the city administration actively supported our work. In 2013, we plan to plant a further 500,000 trees. Every contribution, no matter how small, is therefore valuable.
 
Resource-conscious and innovative: Aware that helping to bring about sustainable and resource-friendly change in a politically and economically unstable country is in our interest, JCI Leipzig have been supporting JCI Zimbabwe since 2013.

Charity flea market

A particularly entertaining charity event is our annual participation in the night-time flea market at Kohlrabizirkus. Our members are called on before hand to ‘have a clean out for a good cause’ and the donated things are then sold to raise money for our partner school, St. Mary’s School, in India.
