During the JEF Training Days in Brussels (March 2013) and the Strasburg-Stuttgart Seminar (April 2013) we asked JEF members from various sections to talk about their experiences with founding new local JEF sections. This project was inspired by a workgroup meeting of JEF Europe about founding new sections.

We’re looking for translators (for the subtitles). Interested? See our Call for Translators.

The second part: It’s all about Recruiting!

When you start, there’s one thing you usually don’t have: Members. Learn how to find them!

The first part is out. Its theme: Motivation

So have a motivated weekend!

Call for Translators

Of course, producing such a video series is a lot of work – which we did and it was fun! But there’s more: Currently everything is in English. That’s nice, but there could be subtitles. And wouldn’t it be awesome to have subtitles in all European languages?

If you’d like to help us (it’s about an hour’s work), contact us, tell us into which language you would like to translate the subtitles to and we’ll be happy to take your help. Plus you’ll be eternalised in the credits.
