Closing Ceremony

The closing ceremony was held on Saturday evening at the Santon Convention Centre, and was full of energy and enthusiasm. There were performances from Emmanuel Jal, and an Irish dance group from Dubin, because the 2014 summit will be hosted by Dublin. There were speeches from the Mayor of Johannesburg, Parks Tau, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Oisín Quinn, and from Nelson Manela's second wife Winnie Madikizela. The summit baton was then officially passed from Johannesburg to Dublin.

We were given a piece of One Young World ribbon and a pen and we had to write down our commitment for the next year. Everyone had the then tie their ribbons together so we had a (very!) long line of ribbons which were then added to a ball of ribbons from the past years' summits. There was also a video shown which contained photos taken during all the sessions during the summit.
