[PATRICK:]After a few trainings we organised in 2003 and 2004 in Liège for the German speaking students there, Gregor joined for his first JCI meeting in summer 2005
[Patrick:] At that day, his friend Mario became member
[Patrick:] The 13th of January Gregor became member too,…
[Patrick:] … and as the one and only project in 2005-2006 were the Assises, Gregor was thrown directly into cold water to organize a congress.He took responsibility in the logistics and program commission.
[Mario:] In 2006-2007, he helped JCI Eupen with the organization of a public speaking competition for high-school graduates, and won the Award of Internationalism (the merit was given to a dog!)
[Mario:] From 2007 to 2011 he worked in numerous projects (I let you read the list [ auf linkeTabellezeigen]), attended all BWB and National conferences, went to 3 European Conferences and helped of course at the World Congress 2011 in Brussels.
