Questo fascicolo nasce da una constatazione e da un desiderio. Il patrimonio pedagogico di Don Bosco, sovente rivisitato in questi anni, suscita un senso di meraviglia per la trasparenza delle sue intuizioni e la ricchezza delle sue manifestazioni.

Il Progetto Educativo-Pastorale Salesiano (PEPS) è stato uno dei temi centrali del ripensamento postconciliare della missione salesiana. L’importanza del progettare riflette un cambio complesso di accentuazioni, avvenuto negli anni del dopo Concilio, da un’educazione fedele ai modelli del passato e spesso ripetitiva verso un’impostazione critica della pedagogia che guarda al futuro.
A partire dall’esperienza di animazione del Gruppo Famiglie don Bosco presso l’Opera salesiana del Borgo Ragazzi a Roma (1997-2011), dalla creazione di “Progetto Coppia” – proposta di formazione permanente per Coppie (1999-2004) – e dalla creazione dell’Associazione Cerchi d’Onda – dedita alla solidarietà e pedagogia familiare –, è nata nel 2005 la Scuola di Formazione per Animatori Familiari (SFAF), scuola estiva di animazione e pastorale familiare per singoli, coppie e famiglie impegnate o sensibili nel settore.

L’expérience “Salohy” est née suite à la demande des jeunes animateurs des Oratorio de Madagascar, pour leur permettre de réaliser une expérience missionnaire auprès des enfants et des jeunes, dans un endroit où il n’y pas encore une présence des FMA ou des SDB. L’expérience “Salohy” a une double finalité: – pour les jeunes volontaires missionnaires, vivre une expérience missionnaire où ils sont des protagonistes pour porter la Bonne nouvelle aux autres jeunes; – pour les jeunes et les enfants du lieu de mission, partager la spiritualité et la méthode éducative de Don Bosco aux jeunes des autres paroisses ou diocèses.

La Escuela Normal Superior (ENS), es una institución formadora de maestros, ubicada en el Área Metropolitana de Medellín (Antioquia-Colombia), zona densamente poblada y con fuertes contrastes entre ricos y pobres. Estos últimos, en su gran mayoría, llegaron huyendo de la violencia o buscando mejores condiciones de vida. Esta situación ha propiciado el aumento de niños y jóvenes en situación de riesgo, a los cuales el Estado no siempre les puede garantizar el derecho a la educación con calidad.

This study will look at how the Salesian brother’s vocation appears in official Salesian writings while Don Bosco was founding the Salesian Congregation, and at how the Congregation has theologically reflected on that vocation as part of its renewal of its Constitutions. It will then examine how this identity has been applied.
The first text (no. 272) included here is an extract from a long conference which Don Bosco gave at the opening of the Patronage de St Pierre in Nice, on 12 March 1877. After summing up the events which led to the founding of the first Salesian House in France, thanks to the involvement of a group of lay people belonging to the St Vincent de Paul Society, supported by Bishop Pietro Sola, the saint said that the work was only set up because of the fruitful cooperation between the Salesians and the Cooperators. Then, pointing out the principal purpose of the Institution (“the good of humanity and the salvation of souls”), he concluded with the reflection that we offer here, focused entirely on practical charity, works of mercy, essential features of true Christian discipleship and on the eternal reward that comes from it (cf. Mt 25:34-35).
