By registering, participants are also helping to predict more accurate numbers, assisting in the organization of the catechesis and cultural activities. Solidarity is another component of the WYD registration process. Upon registering, each participant is given the option to add 10euros or more to the Solidarity fund, which is used to facilitate the participation of young people from countries with economic difficulties and to ensure that people from all parts of the world have the opportunity to participate.
Registration is available online 24-hours a day at: http://en.madrid11.com/JMJ2011ING/REVISTA/cabecerasypies/PortadaInscribite.asp?vmenu=INSCRIBETE
Registration options include accident insurance, access to public transportation, a backpack (with a t-shirt, hat, Madrid guidebook, handbook of all WYD activities, and other useful items) free entrance to all WYD cultural activities, and priority access to all areas reserved for registered participants at central acts and ceremonies.
Currently around 600,000 pilgrims from other countries have announced their plans to register for WYD. If this happens, a record number of participants are expected to participate. For those who pay their registration by March 31, 2010, there is a 5% discount on the registration payment.
