Things the Danish JOTA/JOTI committee does • Plan a new opening station each year, and choose a person to make the opening speech on air and internet • Promote JOTI and JOTA as one single event, not two different ones • Maintain a web page for the event with online sign up. www.jotajoti.dk • Keep contact with participants, signup info, badges, payment, certificates • Send annual JOTA/JOTI rapport to all participants and organisations
Stuff the Danish JOTA/JOTI-committee do with others • Make annual badge with all 5 Nordic NJOs or committees • Make a new “puzzle-game” every 5th year to the participating Nordic stations • Participate in Nordic JOTA/JOTI seminar • Participate in European JOTA/JOTI seminar
Responsibilities, substance • The 4 scout- and guide organisations formed the “DSP” Council (Danish Scout- and Guide Programme Council) • the “DSP” is superior to the Danish JOTA/JOTI-committee • The single JOTA/JOTI-committee members ensure that their own organisations opinion is met in the JOTA/JOTI activities planned
Responsibilities, finance • The JOTA/JOTI-committee is self-sufficient financially • JOTA/JOTI participants pay a 10€ fee each group • The 4 organisations pay for travel expenses to their own committee members • The ScoutLink member is paid by his/her offline organisation, since ScoutLink is not an association in Denmark
