Coming as a delegation

Do you lead a youth group, a chaplaincy or a diocese? The Forum-Festival is built to welcome delegations from all over the world and to offer them a turnkey setting: your group lives a strong international experience, and you keep your community together.

  • Festival · 28 July – 2 Aug 2027
  • WYD · 3 – 8 Aug 2027
  • A dedicated desk per country and network

Our part

What we take care of

  • The venue, the accommodation and three meals a day.
  • The full programme: workshops, formation, prayer, activities.
  • Professional coordination and on-site logistics.
  • A medical team on duty 24/7, and translation.
  • The shuttles between Seoul and the festival site, on 28 July and 2 August.
  • Dedicated delegation time, to keep your group together.

Your part

Your role as a group leader

  • Bringing your group together and accompanying it.
  • Arranging the international flights — or choosing the all-inclusive pack, which covers them.
  • Following up your participants’ visa formalities: an invitation letter is provided to those who need one.
  • Coordinating your group’s registration through the dedicated desk for your country or network.

Write to us before having your participants register one by one. The dedicated desk exists precisely to avoid that: write to contact@wyd2027.org and we will organise the rest with you.

Good to know

What your group will live

  • An international festival

  • Accommodation on site

    On the festival site, in single-sex dormitories, with showers and toilets on site.

  • Young people aged 18 to 35

    No exceptions for minors, even accompanied by a leader. See who can attend.
