Regional Cooperation

Regions are a key part of JB Development. They are non-representative bodies that exist based on the will of its member JBs to cooperate. Participation and membership of all Regions are open for any JB and are granted simply thought self-appointment. So yes - where there's a will, there's a way. Whoever wants to cooperate will find a space to do so.

Our Regions around the world work very hard to:

1. Support the development of the member JBs
2. Establish projects that achieve the JB Goals in ways that single JBs could not do alone .

Regional Cooperation has played a very fundamental role in JB Development over the past 10 years, and is still one of the main tools for development.

Lately, Regions have broadened their definition and ways of functioning to include a variety of new methods including the concepts of JB Neighborhoods and Nucleus of Development - both more informal and simple gathering of JBs that work and help create a "safety-net" in the area that they are present, while also promoting JB in the region. This is mainly done through training workshops that aim at addressing the day-to-day needs of JBs, promoting their development.

The current regions of the JB World are EJB, ARM and JASPAR.
