Now that World Youth Day 08 is over, this is the place to find all the memories, testimonies and archives of WYD08-related stuff! We'll be gradually shifting stuff from www.worldyouthday.org.nz over to Connect, so if you can't find something here, it might be there.

Check out the Kiwi Ambassadors blogs, the WYD Pilgrim Competition winners.

Official NZ WYD photos and videos can be found on our Flickr and YouTube channels.

Be an ethical pilgrim

New Zealand has a great Carbon Footprint Programme to help our awareness of how our pilgrimage affects the environment.

Caritas Australia has prepared a great resource on how to be more ethically aware of how our pilgrimage affects others.
