4. CDP Auditors Training weekend - Last 16th and 17th of January, in ING HeadQuarters, occurred
the Confederations‘ Development Programme (CDP) training session. After having successfully passed the
whole selection process, 8 highly motivated Junior-Entrepreneurs have been trained to the audit by the
European Organisation of Quality (EOQ) and by the CDP team. They learned the basis of being an auditor in
order to get the right information using the right questions. They have also been informed on the context
and origins of the CDP and on the way they will help JADE within this project.
JADE HOUSE
Fundraising team – strategy and teambuilding weekend
JADE ExBo is restructuring the fundraising of JADE. Under the leadership of Moritz Beck, Head of
Private Cooperation, a team of five took on the fundraising challenge: Sebastian Bette (in Brussels) and
Dominik Klimmek from Germany, Matthieu Le Bris and Guilhem Moulin from France, Guilio Sciarappa from
Italy.
The kick-off for the fundraising team took part in JADE House, for three productive and motivating
days. After discovering the cultural differences and how to use them best for the team, they created the 2010
fundraising strategy after understanding the full background of JADE. In addition, the team was trained at a
practical workshop with simulated business sales meetings with video recording. And after all this, they
experienced the legendary night live of Brussels, thus building the social scope of the team.
Good Bye Ticão and Vini! Welcome Luiz, Miriam and Naone!

Managers at JADE. Their main tasks were the CDP Project,
Enlargement, benchmarking and others. Now they will continue
their work in the Brazilian Network where Tiago Mitraud is now the
President of Brasil Junior and Vinicius Carraro is the Head of Internal
Management Department (for the new Brasil Junior Board that
started its term in January 2010).
Luiz Gonçalves, Miriam Ascenso and Naone Garcia are now
the new Brazilian Ambassadors. As Senior Project Managers of
JADE they are already working in the CDP Project (Luiz),
Management of Jade Spring Meeting (Miriam) and JE.NET Project
(Naone) and soon they will also manage new projects.
As Brazilian Ambassadors their main tasks are: gather the
best JADE practices; maintain and consolidate the partnership
between Brasil Junior and JADE; organize the Brazilian commission
that will go to the JEWC and represent Brasil Junior in Europe.

great new wave of recognitions.
Through the European Commission, JADE earned the right to revise policy documents
related to Entrepreneurship education before it actually goes live. The reason for this decision was
given shortly by a member of DG Enterprise: "JADE is one of the most important youth organisation
in Brussels, and definitely the entrepreneurship leader in Europe".
Looking into the new decade, JADE ExBo attended a few briefings on the strategy for EU
2020: Growth and Jobs. Moreover, Junior Enterprises are already mentioned surely and frequently
in the new resolution of the European Council on the Youth framework as a part of the EU 2020
strategy.
Last year, JADE was a key speaker at the UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education. 6
months later, the leading youth organisations of the World got together in Paris to discuss how to
ensure access to high-quality education and easiness of education migration. JADE and Brasil Junior
attended the event as the single body of the Junior Enterprise Movement, proposed many effective
solutions, and the results are expected soon in the official communiqué by UNESCO.
CDP updates - Our Junior Auditors are now visiting the Confederations and they will have to
write a precise report with the help of the whole CDP team and the concerned Confederations in
order to get a real overview of the situation. This information will be used to give guidelines to each
Confederation for their development: by promoting knowledge exchange between them, JADE
network will become stronger and stronger!
The main feedbacks of the project will be given during the JADE Spring Meeting (5 th to 7th of
March 2010).
JE.net – the Jes exchange platform is itself a website, where each Confederation, Member
State and Junior Enterprise (from JADE and Brasil Junior) will develop a profile, which will allow the
sharing of international projects, knowledge, experience and even the exchange of members at
international level! A mixture of a social networking webpage and a travel directory will ensure that
your organisation has chosen the right partner for the international purpose wanted.
The pilot test started in January 2010 and the official launch for all the Junior Enterprises will
take place during Spring Meeting, in March 2010.
