Twinning activities in JCI Central Park Twinning is, simply put, friendship across borders. Twinning is cross-border cooperation between JCI chambers. Twinning activities can be bilateral or multi-chamber joint multitwinning. It's a way to make internationality accessible to every member of the chamber. The purpose of twinning is to create connections between chambers, to visit, to get acquainted with culture, to learn about the activities of others and to exchange project and event ideas. All of these contribute to positive change in line with he strategy as we better understand others and can develop ourselves and our chamber in an even better direction through new ideas. Joint projects and visits also provide an opportunity for friendships and valuable contacts. At its best, twinning creates new business partners, collaborative projects and lifelong friends.
JCI Central Park has very active Twinning network with three JCI local organizations:
- JCI Kennemerland from the Netherlands
- JCI Brügge from Belgium
- JCI Béziers from France
The Twinning activities started with JCI Kennemerland and JCI Brügge already 10 years ago and the activities include Twinning weekends, common projects and get-togethers during international conferences. One of the traditions is the yearly Twinning weekend where each local organization at a time invites other members to join their hometown for a weekend full of activities. The weekend includes company visits, country traditions, team activities and relaxed networking throughout the weekend.
The latest MultiTwinning took place in spring 2024 in Haarlem, the Netherlands. It coincided with the King's Day. Participants took part in activities from selling home made apple pies for charity to exploring cozy Haarlem.
