World Youth Day (WYD) is a meeting of everyone for everyone. Although primarily intended for young people, WYD is built on the dialogue between the various generations, different positions and statuses.

The biggest meeting of young people from all over the world with the Pope is intended to provide each participant with meaningful, existential moments. Since the first edition, which was held in Rome in 1986, World Youth Day has shown itself to be a laboratory of faith, a place where vocations are born and an instrument of evangelisation and transformation of the Church.

However, and despite having a clearly Catholic identity, WYD is a meeting that is open to all, whether they are nearer or farther from the Church. All young people can participate, regardless of their culture, race, gender, religion or socio-economic situation.

Many international volunteers are already collaborating with the organization of WYD Lisbon 2023 to prepare the largest meeting of young people from all over the world with the Pope. Coming from Mexico to Ghana, passing through France, Poland, Italy, Germany, Colombia, Brazil, among many other countries, volunteers are preparing and sharing their ways and experiences to welcome young people from all over the world.

So that you can also get on your way, come with us and sing the hymn of WYD Lisbon 2023 in the five official languages (Portuguese, English, French, Spanish and Italian):
