Il saggio tratta dell’opera delle Figlie di Maria Ausiliatrice in Medio Oriente tra il 1891 e 1950: sei opere divise in tre stati (Terra Santa, Siria e Egitto). Pur nelle singole vicende, raccontano tutte dell’unica esperienza di evangelizzazione e educazione in paesi devastati dalla guerra e invasi da diverse religione: premura per l’istruzione della donna anche ai mestieri, scuole aperte a tutto il popolo, l’attenzione ai poveri, il senso dell’arte.
The essay describes the educative experiences of Salesians in India from 1906 up to 1951. At first, it speaks about the school system (Elementary, Middle, and High Schools, Technical Schools, and University Colleges). Then it talks about the influence of Don Bosco, like the Preventive System and the experience of “Oratorio di Valdocco”. Finally, it talks about the new building of school with the Salesians education.
Pietro Braido in his essay (final contribution of the Congress) retraces the central points treated by the various scholars and lists some themes to be explored for future research such as, for example, reflections related to theology or historical events made by the Saint at the “beginnings” of his life, Don Bosco writer and editor for the masses, major publication of critical texts of the sources.
Questo articolo è una presentazione dello studio sui primi trent’anni (1923- 1953) della presenza e dell’impianto del carisma salesiano nel nord est dell’india. Il primo gruppo di sei missionarie FMA giunse in questa regione l’8 dicembre 1923. Negli anni, presi in considerazione in questo studio, ci sono state otto fondazioni, delle quali sette sparse nelle diverse parti della regione del nord est ed una nello stato adiacente del West Bengal.
Pietro Scoppola in his essay focuses on the aspects that bring Don Bosco’s work closer to “modernity”. In particular, his educational method is considered modern because it puts the freedom of expression of children in the first place, encouraging their personal resources without imposing pre-established behaviors. In addition, Don Bosco was a modern pioneer in being able to balance school with professional training and work during a historical period when Italian legislation did not deal with such issues.

Il desiderio di conoscere meglio l’associazione delle Ex Allieve delle Figlie di Maria Ausiliatrice, oggi ancora molto attiva in tutto il mondo, ci ha portato a vagliare documenti, saggi e consultare vari archivi nella speranza di dipanarne una parte della genesi.
Don Bosco, as Francesco Malgeri points out, has published throughout his life various types of texts, from pamphlets to magazines dealing with religious themes. His publications are addressed to ordinary people, so he chose a clear and simple language.
The present essay focuses on Don Bosco’s decision to adopt Catholic popular theatre as a further educational tool, to the point that at a later time it becomes part of the methods of the Preventive System. The stage thus becomes, not only a place of learning for the spectators, but also for the actors themselves. The first theatrical performance, according to what is mentioned in Memorie, dates back to June 29, 1847.
Il 21 luglio del 1887, in pieno inverno, con 11 gradi sotto zero, quattro salesiani piemontesi, con una valigia color marrone ed un baule con gli arredi sacri arrivarono in nave a Punta Arenas, allora la città più meridionale del mondo. A mettere piede sul molo di legno erano i padri Giuseppe Fagnano, Antonio Ferrerò, insieme al chierico Fortunato Griffa ed al catechista fratello Giuseppe Audisio.
This essay focuses on Don Bosco’s contribution to spreading a popular culture based on religion through his educational activities. Moreover, the Saint was one of the first to realize the need to find, also taking into account the evolving social structure, new ways and techniques for the educational field and also for that one of religious formation.
Abordamos el movimiento de los católicos sociales desde 1915 hasta 1930, fecha
en que los Circulos de Obreros (CCOO) y la Union Popular Católica Argentina (UPCA) pierden influencia en las luchas sociales cediendo lugar a la emergente Acción Católica Argentina. En este contexto situamos la experiencia del salesiano Carlo Conci (1877-1947)2 en la conducción de la Junta Central de los CCOO y corno presidente de la UPCA.
Les organisateurs du Congrès ont demandé d’étudier l’insertion du charisme de don Bosco en Afrique Centrale. Précisons tout de suite que la notion d’Afrique Centrale, dans l’entendement de la Congrégation d’antan, impliquait le territoire de l’actuelle République Démocratique du Congo ainsi que le Rwanda. Pour le choix du terminus a quo (1911) et adquem (1959) nous avons estimé que la période d’insertion et de premier développement du charisme salésien va de 1911 jusqu’en 1959, l’année de la fondation de la “province d’Afrique Centrale” qui a été
le point d’aboutissement d’un processus de maturation.
