Amazing ... incredible ... What an experience! This is what you hear time and again from people who have already been to a World Youth Day. At World Youth Day – the Catholic Church’s mega event – hundreds of thousands of young people from all over the world come together every two or three years. And most of them want to keep on coming back. What, then, is so special about World Youth Day?

“It’s a celebration!” Yes, World Youth Day is a festival – and so much more than that ...

• Meet the world in Cologne! It’s just great getting to know other young people from every part of the world. You discover what life means to them, how they live and practice their faith.
• Laughing together, dancing, discussing and praying together. World Youth Day offers something for everyone: from silent prayer and formal masses to big concerts and cultural events.
• You’re not alone with your thoughts and questions. The Pope has invited young people everywhere to come together. He, and indeed everyone who’ll be there with you at World Youth Day, are interested in you and the things that move you.
