Augustinian Youth Encounter 2027
Your next global encounter awaits
What is Augustinian Youth Encounter 2027?
Embark on a transformative journey at the Augustinian Youth Encounter 2027 (AYE27) in South Korea. This global gathering brings together the young hearts of the Augustinian Family from every corner of the world to celebrate our shared faith and community.
A Journey of Faith and Identity
Taking place from August 8–13, 2027, AYE27 is a sacred invitation to deepen your relationship with Christ and rediscover the power of the Augustinian charism. It is a time to renew our identity as a global community, proving that though we come from different nations, we move as one.
Walking Together in Seoul
Set against the vibrant backdrop of South Korea, this encounter begins immediately following World Youth Day (WYD) 2027 in Seoul. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the beauty of the "interior life" while walking together—one mind and one heart—on our collective way toward God.
“Take Heart, It Is I. Have No Fear”
— Mark 6:50 , Theme for AYE27
“…make a common household, so that through the sincerity of our friendship, nothing should belong more to one than the other; but the whole, being derived from all, should as a whole belong to each, and the
whole unto all." — Saint Augustine

Define the Vision: The AYE27 Song & Logo Competition
Your creativity has the power to shape the identity of our gathering. We are calling upon the artists, musicians, and visionaries of the global Augustinian Family to help us visualize and harmonize the spirit of AYE27. Whether through a striking visual design or a melody that moves the soul, this is your chance to leave a lasting mark on our journey to South Korea.
Design the Emblem
We are seeking an original logo that captures the essence of our 2027 theme. Your design should reflect our Augustinian heritage while embracing the vibrant energy of our host nation, South Korea. The winning logo will become the official face of the encounter, featured on all digital platforms, merchandise, and official documents.
Compose the Anthem
Every great pilgrimage needs a soundtrack. We invite you to compose an original song that inspires unity and "oneness of heart." We are looking for a melody that is easy to sing in community and lyrics that echo our shared path toward God. The chosen anthem will be performed by thousands of voices during our gathering in Seoul.
