Nico giving his speech
Nico, the GEO Director, gave a warm and inspiring speech to all the students at the start of the event. He encouraged each and every one of them to nurture their newly found courage and continue speaking in English. Several videos were also presented to liven up the ceremony. First, was a video made by the Thursday Movie Makers Club and another was a short video prepared by Team Switzerland for the students. The second video, which was a compilation of photos and videos taken during the whole camp, made the students reminisce their wonderful and funny memories with their class and team mates. As of that very moment, shouts of cheer and laughter filled the Global Lounge.

The awarding of the Presentation Contest Winners and recognition of the Team Leaders took place after that and it was then followed by the giving of certificates to the students. The closing ceremony was also the moment of truth...as the event progressed, the champion and winner who gets the GEO Cup was revealed. Team Ireland came out victorious as they also bagged the first prize in the Team Drama Competition.
