After its three-month journey on the International Space Station, the flag returned to the Earth to continue its journey across 20 countries that had earlier hosted the WorldSkills Competitions. Each country held a ceremony where the logo patches from 44 previous Competitions were added to the WorldSkills flag, and vlogs about the Flag Relay were filmed in each country visited.
