Over a month has passed since the Tokyo Conference 2016 was concluded. The results have been reported both to our Swedish alumni and to the Embassy of Japan in Stockholm. 32 countries managed to formulate and sign a Joint Statement that was handed in to the Japanese Government on the last day.
Day 3: Full day of Official Government Visits and the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)
Day 4: Wrap up, signatures, fundraiser auction and farewell
The last day of the conference was a full day of work at the Centerye Office again – but with a fabulous finish and great send-off. We continued to finalise the content and phrasing in the Joint Statement as well as going through a number of motions regarding membership countries, fees and organisation of upcoming initiatives and future priorities within the international association. One of the resulting decisions was to form a review committee for the SWYAA International Charter, in which Sweden was chosen to represent the european countries.

Once the negotiations and discussions were being wrapped up, the charity auction was set up in the back of the room – with a surprising number of items from all around the globe. Lists with silent auctions made the afternoon increasingly intriguing as highly sought after items evoked some competitive bidding. But this was nothing compared to the live auction that followed.

The conference official work was concluded with authorisation of the minutes, signing of the Joint Statement and finally official hand-over of the same document to the Director for International Youth Exchange Affairs from the Office of the Director General for Policies on Cohesive Society of the Cabinet Office – mr. Hideki Uemura. You can read the entire pdf-document right here (Joint_Statement_final).

At around five pm the meeting room was transformed to a mingle party as other ex-PY’s, volunteers, SWY-admins and other guests arrived to join the Farewell Dinner. A great buffet was complemented with the seemingly never-ending diverse sweets and snacks brought from all corners of the globe. This evening featured one of the most entertaining activities of the entire trip. The natural talent of an auctioneer – New Zealands own Arish Naresh – must have doubled the bids with his witty, comic and absolutely fabulous show in the live auction. The audience was laughing and opening their wallets at the same time.

The audience was not only entertained – but also very well motivated to join the bidding as the live auction raised almost 100 000 Japanese yen for disaster-struck Fiji islands.

If I’m not mistaken the auction collected around 100 000 yen in Distaster Releif to the Fiji Islands just recently struck by a devastating tropical cyclone. In addition, I had the privilege to hand over SWYAA Sweden’s collected donation for the same cause – amounting to another 20 000 Japanese yen. Mr. Patrick Morgam, the representative from Fiji, was moved and thanked everyone for their generosity and support. We were also treated to a spontaneous performance of the Maori traditional dance Haka to thank and show appreciation to Tamae and the rest of the Conference organisers for their fenomenal work.

The rest of the last night in Tokyo was spend with old and new friends and the farewells were not that sad, as we all knew that our SWY family is strong and we will sooner or later have the chance to meet again. Next official occasion being the General Assembly in India (link to SWYAA India webpage).
