Press release n°20 of 10th April 2000

Administrative management

One of the points which has characterised the World Day of Youth from the beginning is the adoption of self-financing to cover the costs of organisation at all levels.  Contributory participation takes place through various forms of intervention which can be summarised as follows:

1.   A request for a participatory contribution to cover the costs of food, accommodation, insurance, transport, organisation, etc., which for 6 complete days amounts to 240,000 lire, a figure which is modified according to the number of days stayed;

2.   A request for financial and technical contributions from public and private bodies and Foundations;

3.   Sponsorisation, requested mainly from supply firms or those involved in the organisation of the World Day;

4.   Distribution of books, CDs and cassettes, in addition to objects carrying the logo of the WDY.

The income from these contributions serves in particular to cover the costs related to reception, the public events and organisation in general.

The expenses related to the adaption of the area of Tor Vergata, except for those which will be sustained for the platform and certain mobile services, will be paid  by the public administration.
