Aju Economy is launching a five-part series titled 'WYD Will Transform Seoul' to explore the significance and preparations for the 2027 World Youth Day (WYD) in Seoul, one year ahead of the event.
The main event will take place from August 3 to August 8, 2027, in Seoul. Prior to the main event, diocesan gatherings will be held from July 29 to August 2 in 15 dioceses across the country, excluding Seoul.
This series will begin by examining the significance of hosting the event in a non-Christian cultural context, followed by topics such as pilgrim homestays, the management of 30,000 volunteers, and the systems for registration, transportation, safety, and medical services. The final installment will address the official theme, Catholic cultural events, and the global tree-planting campaign, focusing on the cultural and ecological legacy and challenges the event will leave for youth and Seoul.
Aju Economy will also look into the organizing committee's preparations, the safety of participants and citizens, the role of public institutions, and sustainable youth exchange initiatives following the event.
