A strong JWOC 2027 organising team was present at the recently concluded JWOC 2026 in Karlskrona, Sweden. It was an intense and inspiring week, filled with meetings, observations and many valuable discussions across different areas of event organisation.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to the JWOC 2026 organisers for their openness, hospitality and willingness to share their experience with us. Your welcome and support exceeded all our expectations, and we return home with plenty of knowledge, ideas and motivation.

A very special moment for our team was the official handover of the IOF flag. From now on, it will stay with us until JWOC 2027 in Poland, reminding us every day of the responsibility, trust and excitement connected with hosting the next edition of the Junior World Orienteering Championships.

Karlskrona gave us a huge boost of energy. Now the road leads to Lower Silesia – and we cannot wait to welcome the world’s best juniors in Poland in 2027!
