Our research objectives

Why do young people from different nationalities and cultures participate in World Youth Day? What are their spiritual experiences during the event? What do they think about mission and about being a disciple of Christ when they look back on WYD?

Join in! With your help, the research team “Fascination World Youth Day” will take a closer look at these questions – before, during and after WYD in Rio de Janeiro. You are welcome to support our project with your ideas and reports!

This is how it works:
