From 26 April to 1 May 2011, almost sixty students from all provinces, commissariats and delegations in Asia Australia Oceania Region gathered in Dilli, Timor Leste, for the second Regional Students Gathering. The gathering was organized and led by a team consisting of the regional formators Fr. Pedro Manilag, O.Carm. (Phil) and Fr. Bruce Clark, O.Carm. (Aust) and the international commission of JPIC.

This year, the gathering focused on topics of the International Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Commission and especially with regard to climate change. The speakers were Fr. Eduardo Agosta Scarel, O.Carm. (Cast-Arg), Fr. Albertus Herwanta, O.Carm. (General Councilor), Fr. Hariawan Adji, O.Carm.(Indo), Fr. Boniface Kimondolo, O.Carm. (Ken), Fr. Gilbert Sabado, O.Carm. (Phil) and Mr. Aderito de Jesus Soares (a Timorese lay man who was active in the Timorese anti-corruption movement).

After the conference ended the students prepared a statement and sent it to the Prior General and Provincials of the region proposing some activities for implementation that they had learned in the conference. The program ended with a cultural evening in which students from every province, commissariat and delegation gave a cultural performance.
