CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF IMPACT
2015 JCI President Ismail Haznedar Dear Delegates of the 2015 JCI European Conference, It is my great pleasure to welcome you to my hometown of Istanbul, Turkey! This is a very exciting time as we gather together for the 2015 European Conference. We have the opportunity now to join with each other as a diverse group of active citizens to learn, grow and celebrate together. JCI Area Conferences are always a great opportunity to develop relationships with people from diverse backgrounds, learn from experts and fellow active citizens and experience the hospitality of a new culture. This year will be a particularly exciting European Conference as we join as a region to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the JCI Movement. Now is one of our chances to commemorate this year on an international level and recognize the founding of our great organization and its growth around the world. I hope that you will take advantage of the opportunities available to you and make the most of the week. This will be an important time to further develop our strategies to accomplish the 2015 JCI Plan of Action and our long-term goal to be the organization that unites all sectors of society for sustainable impact. I know that each one of you has an important role to play in that, so I expect that you will take these occasions to develop your skills and knowledge. Thank you for your passion and dedication you demonstrate by attending the 2015 JCI European Conference in Istanbul. Enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds that Turkey has to offer; I may be a bit biased, but I believe it is an enchanting place! Now is the time to unite together to commit, connect and care for JCI and our world! Kind regards,
Ismail Haznedar 2015 JCI President
JCI Turkey President Ahmet Erhan Tanyeri Dear Participants, You are at the last stop of a long journey that started as İzmir, signed in Monaco and promoted in Malta as Kuşadası and immediately after ended in İstanbul. It was an intriguing experience for me to watch this journey as a passenger. While we are at the last stop of this adventure, it is my duty as a President to ask how your trip has been. JCI World Headquarters completed this voyage by deciding the itinerary on behalf of JCI Turkey, with a company. In Turkey, Turkish Coffee is drunk after a long journey and get rest. Now that we are completing a long journey as a passenger, let’s come together and drink a Turkish coffee with a glass of cold water. Turkish coffee is a method of preparing unfiltered coffee. Roasted and then finely ground coffee beans are boiled in a pot (cezve), usually with sugar, and served in a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. At present, it is found in the Middle East, North Africa, the Caucasus, the Balkans, Bali, and Eastern Europe. Turkish Coffee is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Turkey confirmed by UNESCO. On this occasion, I want to welcome you all to Turkey and wish you a pleasant time. Ahmet Erhan Tanyeri 2015 JCI Turkey President

What is a JCI Skills Development Course? While the JCI Official Courses are intended to provide members a better understanding of how JCI works to accomplish its Mission, the JCI Skills Development Courses are designed to sharpen the skills of members, enabling them to accomplish the JCI Mission.
JCI Effective Communications
JCI Effective Meetings

Friday June 5 14:00 – 16:00 | Tophane, ICC (English) 14:00 – 16:00 | Yildiz 1, ICC (French)
Being able to communicate effectively is one of the most important life skills. Developing your communication skills can help all aspects of your life, from your professional life to social gatherings and everything in between. This course will cover the concepts of effective communication and the many forms it comes in—including verbal, non-verbal, written and listening—so that active citizens can create sustainable impact through effective communication and action.
It is human nature to meet other humans for many reasons and at the local level of JCI, meetings have a great impact in decision-making and sharing experiences. However, as our world progresses, we need to rethink the way we conduct meetings at the local level. What this course proposes is that JCI Local Organizations must be creative when organizing meetings. Because each Local Organization is different and can change every year, Local Officers must decide what type of meeting is more effective for the members and the organization. On one hand, humans have a need to meet person-to-person, while on the other hand, innovations have proven that there are other ways of achieving the same results.

Debating skills equip members with the ability to advocate the message of social responsibility, resolve conflicts, respect differences and overcome obstacles. Each year at the JCI Area Conferences and JCI World Congress, national teams contend for the title of JCI World Debating Champions
Public speaking is a critical skill of a leader who can motivate people toward positive change.

The competition gives every participant a way to express his or her thoughts to others in an exciting and challenging way.

JCI Twinning The JCI Twinning Program is a voluntary and reciprocal agreement between National Organizations or Local Organizations in different countries, regions or cities. The motivation to twin originates from the members in two National or Local organizations who wish to establish a mutual understanding and friendship. The objective is to exchange personal visits, ideas, projects and culture. With modern communication and transportation systems, distance is no longer an obstacle. For this reason, twinning is easier now than ever. The program formally links two or more JCI Organizations and provides a framework for members to participate in other cultures. They forge diverse connections that provide a unique perspective on the increasing interconnectedness of our world. These experiences produce a deep understanding of the importance of diversity and global cooperation. Are you interested in the JCI Twinning program? Come watch and learn from other twinning partners at the Twinning Ceremony:
