We would like to accompany you in the preparation for your
arrival and stay in Krakow in July 2016; that’s why the Volunteers
Department prepared a special guide for you. Here you will find
useful information about Poland, advice on how to prepare for a long
journey, tips about life in Poland, as well as a mini Polish dictionary.
The guide, apart from practical information, also contains a short
section on spiritual preparation. We hope that your participation
in World Youth Day will be a time of strengthening your faith,
experiencing God’s love and discovering your place in the Church.
For the time of preparation for World Youth Day, we constantly
remember you in our prayers, and we would like to ask you to pray
for us, so that the meeting is held according to God’s plan.
“I don’t have silver or gold. I don’t have ready answers to important
questions. I will try to look at them in the light of Jesus Christ. And I
say to you: get up, don’t focus on weaknesses and doubts, straighten
up… Get up and walk”. St. John Paul II
We are waiting for you!
See you in Krakow!

OFFICIAL PRAYER
WYD KRAKOW 2016
“God, merciful Father,
in your Son, Jesus Christ, you have revealed your love
and poured it out upon us in the Holy Spirit, the Comforter,
We entrust to you today the destiny of the world and of every man and woman”.
We entrust to you in a special way
young people of every language, people and nation:
guide and protect them as they walk the complex paths of the world today
and give them the grace to reap abundant fruits
from their experience of the Krakow World Youth Day.
Heavenly Father,
grant that we may bear witness to your mercy.
Teach us how to convey the faith to those in doubt,
hope to those who are discouraged,
love to those who feel indifferent,
forgiveness to those who have done wrong
and joy to those who are unhappy.
Allow the spark of merciful love
that you have enkindled within us
become a fire that can transform hearts
and renew the face of the earth.
Mary, Mother of Mercy, pray for us.
Saint John Paul II, pray for us.
Saint Faustina, pray for us.

MESSAGE FROM POPE FRANCIS
MESSAGE FROM POPE FRANCIS
Dear young people, at the Shrine in Krakow dedicated to the merciful Jesus,
where he is depicted in the image venerated by the people of God, Jesus is
waiting for you. He has confidence in you and is counting on you! He has so
many things to say to each of you... Do not be afraid to look into His eyes,
full of infinite love for you. Open yourselves to His merciful gaze, so ready
to forgive all your sins. A look from Him can change your lives and heal the
wounds of your souls. His eyes can quench the thirst that dwells deep in your
young hearts, a thirst for love, for peace, for joy and for true happiness. Come
to Him and do not be afraid! Come to Him and say from the depths of your
hearts: “Jesus, I trust in You!”. Let yourselves be touched by His boundless
mercy, so that in turn you may become apostles of mercy by your actions,
words and prayers in our world, wounded by selfishness, hatred and so much
despair.
Carry with you the flame of Christ’s merciful love – as saint John Paul II said
– in every sphere of your daily life and to the very ends of the earth. In this
mission, I am with you with my encouragement and prayers. I entrust all of
you to Mary, Mother of Mercy, for this last stretch of the journey of spiritual
preparation for the next WYD in Krakow. I bless all of you from my heart.
From the Vatican, 15 August 2015

THOUGHTS ON
VOLUNTEER WORK
WYD KRAKOW - THOUGHTS ON VOLUNTEER WORK
FRANCIS
What makes a volunteer dedicate his/her life to others? First of all,
the innate movement of the heart that inspires every human being to
help his fellow man. It is a law of existence.
The service you have given during these days brings to mind the
mission of Saint John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus.
Every one of you, each in his or her own way, was a means enabling
thousands of young people to “prepare the way” to meet Jesus. And
this is the most beautiful service we can give as missionary disciples.
To prepare the way so that all people may know, meet and love the
Lord.
A volunteer experiences a joy that goes far beyond what he has done
when he succeeds in giving himself freely to others.
To you who in these days responded with such readiness and
generosity to the call to be volunteers for World Youth Day, I say:
Message of the Holy Father at the end of the International Year of
Volunteers, Vatican, 05.12.2001
May you always be generous with God and with others: one loses
nothing thereby, but gains great enrichment in life.
God calls you to make definitive choices, and he has a plan for each of
you: to discover that plan and to respond to your vocation is to move
toward personal fulfilment.
God calls each of us to be holy, to live his life, but he has a particular
path for each one of us. (…) I have confidence in you and I pray for
you. Have the courage to swim against the tide. And also have the
courage to be happy.
ST JOHN PAUL II
BENEDICT XVI
Christ’s grace helps us to discover within ourselves a human desire
for solidarity and a fundamental vocation to love.
His grace perfects, strengthens and elevates that vocation and enables
us to serve others without reward, satisfaction or any recompense.
Here we see something of the grandeur of our human calling: to serve
others with the same freedom and generosity which characterizes
God himself.
Meeting with volunteers of the XXVIII WYD, Rio de Janeiro, 28.07.2013
We also become visible instruments of his love in a world that
still profoundly yearns for that love amid the poverty, loneliness,
marginalization and ignorance that we see all around us.

WORLD YOUTH DAY THEME
WORLD YOUTH DAY
THEME
The theme for the 31st World Youth Day in Krakow, 2016, are the
following words:
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy” (Matthew 5:7)
BLESSED ARE
THE MERCIFUL
FOR THEY SHALL
OBTAIN MERCY
Mt 5:7
The Holy Father Francis has chosen the fifth from the eight
beautitudes, recounted by Jesus in His Sermon on the shore of
the Sea of Galilee.
The Pope wanted to underline the importance of Jesus’ words
on the essence of happiness, as they are the heart of our Lord’s
teaching. Jesus, in His first Sermon, left us eight tips on how our
attitude can bring people closer to the Kingdom of Heaven.
The relation between the place of meeting of the young people
in Krakow and the topic of the meeting leads the pilgrims to the
Spark of Mercy which has been radiating from the sanctuary
of Łagiewniki on the whole Church since the first revelation of
Merciful Jesus to St. Faustina.
Krakow is widely known as the world center of devotion to Divine
Mercy; young people who will come to Poland will surely want
to visit the place of revelation, the tomb of St. Faustina and the
sanctuary - the place where St. John Paul II entrusted the world
to Divine Mercy.
What is interesting is that the fifth beatitude also recalls the first
two years of Pope Francis’ pontificate, which is when he tried to
show to the Church the love of God towards every human being
and the necessity to showing mercy to each other.

WORLD YOUTH DAY
LOGO
WORLD YOUTH DAY LOGO
THE PROTAGONISTS OF THE MEETING
The Protagonists of the World Youth Day are: Christ and the youth.
The essence of this event is to meet with God and other people.
Hence, there is the symbol of the cross, which symbolizes Jesus
and a full circle pictured inside Him, which also symbolized the
youth in previous editions of the WYD.
THE PLACE OF THE MEETING
Another meeting place of the youth is the whole of Poland and
especially Krakow Poland is the motherland of St. John Paul II - an
Apostle of God’s Mercy and the initiator of the WYD. Poland is also
the place of the birth and life of St. Faustina Kowalska to whom
Jesus appeared personally on numerous occasions and to whom He
passed the gift of Our Lady of Mercy. And Krakow, itself, as Saint
John Paul II used to say, is the center of the cult of God’s Mercy in
the world.
MEANING
OF THE LOGO
THE THEME OF THE MEETING
The theme of the XXXI World Youth Day is God’s Mercy. The red
and blue flame is a reflection of the theme since it directly refers
to the image of Merciful Jesus.
St. Faustina writes in her Diary: “From beneath the garment, slightly
drawn aside at the breast, were emanating two large rays, one
red and the other pale.” Similarly, the elements in the logotype
will represent the grace, which cleanses and inflames the young
gathered for the World Youth Day.
COLOURS
The colours of the logo for Krakow 2016, red, blue, yellow, refer
to the official colours of the city of Krakow and its coat of arms.

WYD PATRON SAINTS
WYD PATRON SAINTS
SAINT JOHN PAUL II
Krakow and Lesser Poland are the
homeland of Karol Wojtyła - Pope
John Paul II.
From here he set off for Rome, to
take part in the conclave; and to this
place he returned most willingly, in his
memories and during the pilgrimages
to the Fatherland:
"Here, in this land, I was born. Here, in
Krakow, I spent the greater part of my
life... Here, I received the grace of my
priestly vocation... I was consecrated
Bishop in the Cathedral of Wawel," he
recalled.
SAINT FAUSTINA
Saint Faustina and Saint John Paul II are the patron saints of the World
Youth Day in Krakow.
When in the summer of 1938, 18-year-old Karol Wojtyła arrived in
Krakow to begin his studies at the Jagiellonian University, sister Faustyna
was 33 years old and lived her convent life. She died on October the
5th, just when Karol was beginning the first semester of his studies on
the Faculty of Polish Studies. They have never met each other but the
Divine Providence has bound their lives in a special way: it was John
Paul II who canonized sister Faustina and established the Feast of Divine
Mercy, celebrated in the whole Church.
Helena Kowalska – an ordinary
girl with a typical Polish surname.
However, can we say about another
person that he or she is “ordinary”? Or
perhaps it’s just us who classify other
people in this way?
Helena didn’t want to prove anything
to anyone, at all. And yet, she
showed to the world how great is the
potential hidden in “ordinary” people.
It depends on them whether they will
use it or not.
These two saints from Krakow - apostles of Divine Mercy – are the
patrons of WYD in 2016.
For us, their lives are an example of deep trust in Divine Mercy, as shown
in the words:
“Jesus, I trust in You”.

THE MEETING
OF VOLUNTEERS
WITH THE POPE
Sunday 31.07
Another important moment is the first meeting
with the Holy Father- The Papal Welcome. The
ceremony is of international character.
On Friday we will celebrate the Way of the Cross
which emphasizes the penitential character of
WYD.
The most personal moment is the Vigil with
the Holy Father. It is a uniquely intense time of
prayer and a meeting with Christ, a time full of
concentration and joy.
The 31st of July is the time of the last one of the
Main Events, that is, the Final Mass, celebrated
by the Holy Father. It is a solemn conclusion of
WYD, the culmination of all the previous meetings.
During this Mass, the Pope “sends young people
to the whole world”. At the very end, during the
Angelus, Pope Francis – as usually – will announce
the time and place of the next World Youth Day.
At the end of each World Youth Day, just before
leaving the host country, the Holy Father meets
those without whom the organization of WYD
would not be possible. On Sunday afternoon, Pope
Francis will give thanks to thousands of volunteers
from the whole world for their ministry full of
commitment and devotion. His close presence will
compensate them their efforts of the previous
days.

theme chosen by the Holy Father for the XXXI World
Youth Day in Krakow. Catechesis sessions will take
place across the city in churches and other chosen
venues to ensure that all young people can participate.
During the catechesis, priests prepare young people
to understand the meaning of the sacrament of
reconciliation, in which they can partake each morning.
All catechesis sessions include Eucharistic celebrations.
The Vocations Center is a place where religious
congregations, Catholic schools and universities,

A religious, artistic and cultural program takes place in

VOLUNTEERS’ TESTIMONY
“For me, it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life: get
to know so many people who came from the most remote parts of
the world, hearts inflamed by the fire of the Holy Spirit, for whom
the motivation is important - walk the way of Christ, listen to His
message in community with other young people who are also today
Jesus’s apostles”
Jairo (Colombia)
“To be, in order to serve- each time I participate in WYD which gathers
the whole Church of the world, in the diversity of its «forms and
colors», I always think about these words”
Francesco (Italy)
“There were queues, delays, unforeseen incidents - when you organize
a large scale event, such things cannot be avoided. However, in no
way do they diminish the joy and splendor of WYD, and surely they
don’t impede the grace of God which worked, works and will always
work among us, in spite of our defects”.
Adailton (Brazil)

VOLUNTEERS’ TESTIMONY
“The continuity of World Youth Day fascinates me! Besides all the
challenges, criticism and skepticism, this feast of faith is always
held with great success! When we unite in one community of the
young, once in a few years, we all have the impression that we walk
along the same way… So, we are together, while we pray in our own
languages, while we have different cultural traditions. I believe that
we all together walk towards Heaven. […] I needed this experience,
the reanimation of my spirituality, this wonderful touch of God
just for my life. Here, in Krakow, before WYD 2016, I live every day
almost as if I learned from scratch how to believe. Like a small child
who totally trusts his Father who brought it to life and leads by the
hand with love...”
Ulyana (Ukraine)
“During my volunteer service in Rio on the Copacabana beach, I heard
important words from Pope Francis:
“Go, without fear, to serve!” And this is what I do now! I serve! In Rio
I discovered the value of prayer, I learned what “responsibility” and
“humility” mean. I also learned to believe in wishes. I’m grateful to
God for this opportunity!”

BANK PEKAO S.A.

The denominations of Polish currency are the following:
In the majority of the banks, it is possible to speak English.
Remember, even when a bank in Poland has the same name as your bank (ING,
Santander, Deutsche Bank, etc.), it is still a separate entity in relation to your
bank, so it may impose additional costs on your financial transactions, just like in
the case of another bank’s customers.
There are Euronet and Cash4you ATMs all over the city. You will be able to
use them without additional costs, though it depends on your bank. Before you
arrive in Poland, please consult a table of fees or ask in your bank for information
regarding bank services abroad.
In most shops (groceries and souvenir shops as well ) in the city center you can
pay by card. Visa, MasterCard and Maestro cards are widely accepted. There’s
usually a sign on the shop’s door, showing that you can pay by card.
Even though Poland is EU member, its currency is Polski Złoty (PLN).
Still, in some shops you can pay in euro (but the change is given in PLN).
1 złoty (zł)
In the center, there are a lot of currency exchange offices where you can
exchange most currencies, such as: euro, American dollar, British pound, Swiss
franc, Czech koruna and Hungarian forint. Often you can also find exchanges for
Australian and Canadian dollars. It’s much cheaper to get foreign currencies in an
office than in a bank. The exchange rate of Polish złoty depends on the situation
on the financial market.

INFORMATION FROM
BORDER GUARDS
Which documents do you need to
visit Poland?
Third-country nationals who arrive
in the European Union (including
the Republic of Poland), must be
in possession of required travel
documents (passports) which entitle
their holders to cross the external
borders.
Schengen Information System (SIS) as
a person to be refused entry;
• You must not be a threat to public
policy, internal security, public health
or international relations of any of the
EU member countries and you must
not be featured in national databases
of the EU member countries as an
undesirable person.
The passports must:
1. Be valid for at least three months
beyond the length of stay in the EU
member countries;
2. Be issued within the past 10 years.
While planning a journey to the EU/
the Republic of Poland, in order to
avoid being refused entry, and –in
consequence- deception, additional
costs and inconveniences, you must
make sure that you possess the
required travel document, check if you
are subject to the visa requirement
when entering the EU/ the Republic
of Poland and, if applicable, take the
necessary steps to obtain a visa at
the consulate of Poland or another
EU member, and fulfil any other
requirements to enter and stay in an
EU member country / the Republic of
Poland.
A list of countries whose nationals
may enter Poland without a visa can be
consulted on the website of the Polish
Ministry of Foreign Affairs: www.msz.
gov.pl.
If you are required to be in possession
of a visa, you will need a Schengen visa
or other permit needed to cross the
border (e.g. a national visa, a residence
permit issued by another EU member
country, a residence permit for family
members of EU citizens, etc.).
You must also meet the following
requirements:
• Justify the purpose and conditions of
the intended stay;
• Have sufficient means of subsistence
or ensure their provision, both for the
period of the intended stay and for the
return to your country of origin;
• You must not be featured in the
44
37
INFORMATION FROM BORDER GUARDS
What should I do if I lose my
documents during my journey / stay
in Poland?
• You should go to the nearest Police
station, report a loss of document and
obtain a relevant certificate. Submitting
such a report is particularly important
in order to prevent illegal use of
the lost document by unauthorized
persons. Please note that the Border
Guard does not issue any certificates of
document loss.
• In the embassy or consulate of
your country you should apply for a
relevant replacement travel document
which will allow you to return to your
country of origin or residence.
Citizens of the European Union, the
European Economic Area or other
countries which are not EU members,
yet which, under agreements made
with the EU, enjoy the right of free
movement, under the EU law may
enter the territory of the Republic of
Poland when they are in possession
of a valid document certifying their
identity and citizenship.
PLEASE NOTE! driver’s license, student
or school ID card, insurance, certificate
of application for passport or national
ID card, birth or marriage certificate or
interim documents issued to thirdcountry nationals under the refugee
or asylum procedure, pending the final
outcome of their status request, do
not entitle their holders to cross the
border and to stay in the Republic of
Poland.
IMPORTANT!:
Most airlines do not allow people to
travel who do not have the relevant
travel documents.
Nevertheless, it is advisable to carry
such documents with you because
in difficult situations (e.g. in case of
loss, theft or damage of passport or
national ID card), these documents may
be helpful in certifying your identity
and citizenship, and in obtaining a
relevant document, required so that
you can return to your country. In such
situations, it may be also useful to have
on your mobile phone photographs of
the pages of your passport / national
ID showing your personal data, as well
as visas or residence permits.
So, if you are only in possession of a
certificate of loss of your passport,
issued by the Police, you may be
denied permission to board the plane.
Are vaccinations required for Poland?
No, there are no vaccinations required.
What do the controls in the territory
of Poland consist of?
On the basis of the entitlements
possessed, the Border Guard may,
apart from performing regular border
checks at border crossing points, check
the legality of residency of foreigners
in the territory of the Republic of
Poland. During such controls, Border
Guard officers have the right to check

INFORMATION FROM BORDER GUARDS
not only the travel documents and
to verify the legality of residency, but
they can also control the vehicles, as
well as the entitlement to possession
and driving licenses. In the case of
traffic or regulatory offences, or any
infringement of the Polish legal order,
the competences of the Border Guards
and Police are the same and the
officers have the right to sanction the
infringements- including imposing fines.
justifying the purpose and conditions
of the intended stay;
• Lack of sufficient means of
subsistence for the duration and
form of the intended stay, or lack
of sufficient means to return to the
country of origin;
• Stay of over 90 days within a period
of 180 days in the territory of EU
member countries;
• Presence of the personal data in the
Schengen Information System for entry
denial for an undesirable person;
• Being a threat to public policy,
internal security, public health or
international relations of one or more
EU member countries.
During internal controls, Border Guard
officers may perform their duties,
similar to those performed on travelers
during crossing the external borders. In
the case of detecting that the foreigner
does not have the relevant documents,
entitling them to stay in the territory
of the Republic of Poland, or that
they do not fulfil the requirements
necessary so that the stay can be
considered legal, such a person may
obtain an administrative decision
ordering them to leave the territory of
Poland.

HOW TO GET A VISA
VISAS
THE PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING VISAS TO PARTICIPATE IN
WORLD YOUTH DAY KRAKOW 2016
Since 21 December 2007 the Republic of Poland has been a part of the Schengen area.
The rules of crossing external borders of the Schengen area are contained in Regulation
No 2016/399 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 establishing a
Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen
Borders Code).
In which cases may a third-country
national be refused entry in Poland
or in the EU?
The possible reasons for taking an
administrative decision refusing entry

the following:
• Lack of a valid travel document;
• Lack of a valid visa/ residence permit,
if required;
• Possession of a false/ counterfeit/
forged travel document, visa or
residence permit;
• Lack of relevant documentation
Annex I to Council Regulation No 539/2001 of 15 March 2001 listing the third countries whose
nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders and those whose
nationals are exempt from that requirement indicates countries whose nationals must have
valid visas when crossing the external border of the Schengen area.

COMMUNICATION DURING WYD
Effective communication is key to ensuring that WYD is held smoothly. As
Volunteers, we have to be the best informed group of participants - this is why
it is important that we know where we should look for the information we need.
The Guide which you are reading is one of the sources of knowledge about the
organization of volunteer work; however, any information will be sent to you on an
ongoing basis mainly by e-mail, at the address which you specified in the volunteer
application.
We will write you about the type of voluntary service which will be assigned to
you, we will give you information on how to perform that service and inform you
about your accommodation. In the same e-mail we will also invite you to use the
application and Volunteers’ portal.
Team leaders will be in contact with volunteer coordinators who will organize their
work in a particular place or will assign them a particular service.
There will be ca. 100 coordinators. Everything will be supervised by local staff
formed by members of the Volunteer Department and other sections of WYD
Organizing Committee.
Volunteers will communicate with team leaders by phone or directly; team leaders
will use two-way radios to communicate with coordinators, just like coordinators
with local staff.

PLEASE NOTE!
The application for Volunteers is different from the one for pilgrims. You can
install both applications – the first one will be used for communication with you,
the other one contains valuable information which you can read before your
arrival in Krakow. Important information can be also found on our website (www.
krakow2016.com). Nevertheless, we would like to point out that communication
via e-mail is the most important one. Please check your inbox on a regular basis.
ALARM!
Anyway, it is advisable for you to find a place with Internet access.
Any changes in your work, information or alerts will be sent by e-mail.
And the most important thing: we will clarify your doubts during the training just
before WYD. This is why we insist so much that you are in Krakow on July 18th.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Prepare them before your arrival, so that you
don’t forget anything.

National and international volunteers will be divided into groups of ca. 10 people;
all of them will have a team leader. In total, during WYD there will be ca. 1,000
team leaders. Groups will work on one task, yet in a shift system.

WHAT TO PACK
MOBILE APPLICATION
It is important to collect not only our memories and experiences but also all the
necessary things for our journey. When you pack your objects properly, you feel
safe, so you have to bear in mind the most important things – make sure that you
take your documents (passport, identity card, health insurance – for EU members
it can be the EHIC card), money and medicines (if necessary).
The Mobile Application for
Volunteers is going to be
a tool for communication,
working on Android and iOS,
directly related to and working
with the "Mountain of Good"
internet portal for volunteers.
Below you can find some advice on how to remember all the necessary things for
a volunteer:
Logging into the application
will be very simple - through
a previously created account
(Profile) on "Mountain of Good".
Thanks to the mobile application,
every volunteer will have
permanent access to resources
like: news, urgent and essential
information related to their
work and WYD current events,
emergency phone numbers, a
guide, and also access to the full
list of accommodation.
An important element will be
formation support with specially
prepared spiritual contents.
The most essential function
that the application will have
is coordinating the work of
volunteers through the online
work Bank, where tasks will be
A
NEWS
Volunteers will have constant contact with
their coordinators, team leaders and other
people forming part of their group. The
application will also have a Messenger
function, enabling direct and instant
communication.

CHECKLIST
IMPORTANT!
„Life is not only for living it for oneself,
we must see other people, try to be
helpful for those who surround us”.
We are glad to welcome you to the volunteer community which
works for such a great event – World Youth Day in Krakow!
It was St. John Paul II – a saint who was so close to this city - to
have a dream about a big gathering of young people. Now it is
our turn to make a move. Will you accept the invitation of Pope
Francis?

DURING VOLUNTEERING
5
Remember to pack: a foam mattress, a sleeping bag,
a bathing suit (for under the shower), an adapter (in
Poland there might be other electrical outlets than in
your country).
6
The Volunteer Package includes health insurance, civil
liability insurance and accident insurance that last for
the time of stay during WYD in Krakow (two weeks),
that’s why it worth also buying other insurance
(European Health Insurance Card, EURO 26 or other
tourist insurance).
7
Download the application for WYD Volunteers and
read the guide.
8
You can also bring some small gift from your country
and exchange it during WYD as a souvenir.
56
49
You have arrived. You find yourself in a completely foreign
culture in a far country.
1
Don’t forget to let your parents and other people
close to you in your country know that you are in
Krakow. Pray, give thanks for a peaceful journey and
ask for the successful course of your volunteering
service.
2
Get to know the surroundings, find yourself in a
new situation, in a foreign culture and new people.
Remember you are not the only one who can feel
uncomfortable. Try to go outside of your comfort
zone.
3
Take part in the training for volunteers, which will
prepare you for responsible service.
4
Don’t avoid your service and don’t leave the
place of your work when you perform duties of
being a volunteer. You belong to a group of WYD
organizers, together with the volunteers of WYD
you are a strong pillar of the organized event –
make use of this opportunity!
5
Cooperate with people in your group, ask your
team leader to give you news about the course
of the work, in case of any doubts contact the
people responsible for help and report to the
Volunteering Center (we will give you the address
in an email)

“POST-WYD Syndrome”,
6
Be flexible – WYD is a project at a global scale,
not everything always goes according to what we
expect, that’s why you shouldn’t get discouraged in
case problems come up, only try to adapt yourself
to a changing reality.
7
Take care of yourself. Dress appropriately for the
weather, and wear comfortable shoes. In case you
use medication, don’t forget to take it.
8
Make a record of your activity as a volunteer –
take pictures, record films, collect signatures on
shirts and flags, write contact information for
people you meet, share gifts that you’ve brought
from your country.

or advice on how to improve your mood after WYD!
The last hours of volunteering for WYD, packing your bags,
saying goodbye and exchanging contacts with the people you
met, the last photos, thinking about your return, an atmosphere of joy and at the same time sadness, lots of emotions and
feelings. You have thought: what will you do after the end of
your adventure at WYD?
1
You have come back home. Sit down comfortably
and thank God in prayer for the amazing gift and
unrepeatable adventure that you’ve experienced.
2
Try to keep regular contact with the people you met
during WYD. You have gone your own ways, but it’s
not the end of the world. If God wishes – you will
meet at the next WYD, and maybe even earlier.
3
Make note of the changes that took place in you after
the end of volunteering – you have gained a unique
experience and an amazing life lesson, you have
looked at the world from a different perspective, you
discovered common values that you and many other
people around the world believe in.
4
Make use of the opportunity that you’ve received.
Don’t lose motivation, be active, realize your
passions, encourage yourself to discover your talents
and deepen the faith of other people, develop your
spiritual potential and form beautiful relationships
with God and the people close to you.

52
SUMMARY
5
Don’t be afraid of feelings that are in you. Give
yourself a moment and accept the emotions that you
feel. If you want to share them, talk with people close
to you and find a community, some ministry, where
you can talk about your experiences.
6
Take a card and a pen and write down all the
skills and abilities that you have gained thanks to
volunteering at WYD. Put this list above your desk
and don’t tire in developing these qualifications.
7
May works of mercy become part of your everyday
life - like ordered prayer, a ritual - like having a coffee
and a joy - like going out with your friends.
We ask you to pray for WYD, the Holy Father and the
young people, who will come to Krakow in July!
SEE YOU THERE!
