The WYD Press Office informed that by this initiative young catholics from all over the world are invited to express their opinions, concerns, wishes and hopes concerning the Church amd the community. All the comments will be recorded, assessed and broadcast on air every day on WDR 3 in the broadcasts "Mosaik", from Tuesday 16th to Friday 19th starting from 6.05 am until 9 am, and "Resonanzen", on the same days from 5.05 pm until 7.45pm.
