To sum up the JCI World Congress in Osaka so far - it has been: intensive, energetic, and fun. 

As you know JCI follows the philosophy 'One year to lead'. 2011 World President Kentaro Harada was inaugurated yesterday and all past JCI World Presidents joined him on stage after the Award Ceremony. 

JCI UK did not win any awards. We really thought Solveig Malvik from JCI London would win the public speaking but the lady from JCI Asia-Pacific won. 

You can watch Solveig's speech on YouTube. She was absolutely fantastic, be inspired. 

I have collected the congress news below. You might find some people you know in them:
