The gazebos funded and supported by WYD will act as a point of reference to the participants attending the event.

In the gazebos two kinds of services will be offered: first of all refreshment centres where water, cold drinks, sandwiches, snack salads and even paramedical products, second badges, T-shirts, foulards, Cd-card Bible, books etc.
The setting of the gazebos will be organised by the Italian WYD committee contributing to the running expenses such as reception and basic events costs.
