4. To foster camaraderie among fellow JCI members across the globe
5. To provide leadership development opportunities to JCI Daraga members

Overview

JCI Daraga’s first time to join a Friendship Night was in 2021 and hosted by JCI Medan of JCI Indonesia. In that event, sharing of best practices and a little getting to know each other were conducted among 5 local organizations from 3 national organizations.

And to continue such a wonderful bonding and interaction with fellow JCI members in Asia Pacific, JCI Daraga launched this Friendship Night which will run every month until July of this year.

For this first run, JCI Daraga partnered with 2 LOs from JCI Philippines: JCI Cebu Sinulog and JCI Kagayhaan Gold, and 4 LOs from JCI Indonesia: JCI Solo, JCI Badung Bali, JCI Bali and JCI Yogyakarta. A total of 29 members from these 6 LOs from 2 NOMs formed friendship in a 2-hour event of presentations, getting to know each other, sharing of best practices and tourist spots, and playing virtual games.

The next run will be in March 2023.
