ECHOS Commission, a WCC-body promoting active involvement of young adults and youth engagement within ecumenical movements, gathers once a year and entertains three working groups, on communication, ecumenical formation, and networking, respectively.

The peace pilgrimage in Seoul will be followed by a three-day meeting with the ECHOS Commission on Youth during which commissioners will stake out plans for the WCC programme.

The pilgrimage and the ECHOS meeting will be complemented by the worldwide yearly Prayer for the Peaceful Reunification of the Korean Peninsula on 11 August and the Ecumenical International Youth Day at the Ecumenical Centre in Geneva on 12 August.
