The National Youth Days (NJD) are a continuation of the World Youth Days (WYD), offering a space for encounters and spiritual renewal for Ivorian Catholic youth. The first edition of the JNJ took place in 2007 in Yamoussoukro. Other editions followed: in 2009 in Bouaké, in 2012 in Gagnoa, in 2014 in Agboville, and in 2017 in Katiola. The 2020 edition could unfortunately not be held due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is therefore with immense joy that we resume this beautiful tradition, a moment of grace and communion for our Church.
