Youth Exchange students connect at Rotary Convention
Rotary leaders from around the world converged in São Paulo at our 106th Rotary International Convention to share ideas, learn best practices, and make new friends. And Rotary Youth Exchange students also enjoyed this exciting annual event. Rotarian champions of the Youth Exchange program shared stories with students and colleagues at the Youth Exchange Officers Preconvention.
As Rotary cultural ambassadors, students were invited to present the flag of their country at the flag ceremony celebrating the start of the convention. Mel Iris, a blind student from Brazil, inspired thousands by recounting her life-changing experience in Canada. And the instantly recognizable Youth Exchange blazers, covered with decorative pins, appeared everywhere on Instagram. Relive the excitement and fun of theRotary Convention and find inspiration for another year of friendship, service, and action. Are you ready to answer President K.R. Ravindran’s call to Be a Gift to the World?
