Francesco Gentile ,Guglielmo Malizia,Mario Tonini – Quaranta anni a servizio dei giovani delle classi popolari. Successo formativo e progetto di vita degli allievi del CNOS-FAP
Il motore della crescita quantitativa e qualitativa del CNOS-FAP (Centro Nazionale Opere Salesiane – Formazione Aggiornamento Professionale) va trovato nella concezione di formazione professionale (FP), intesa come un principio pedagogico capace di rispondere alle esigenze del pieno sviluppo della persona secondo un approccio specifico fondato sull’esperienza reale e sulla riflessione in ordine alla prassi e non come semplice addestramento, finalizzato all’insegnamento di destrezze manuali.

John Rasor – The salesian brother’s spiritual identity
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.

Francis J. Moloney – Salesians beyond 2000
In the article, Fr. Frank looks at the images of God and Community and poses questions that young people in Western Societies are facing on the threshold of the Third Millennium. He moves from the contemporary to the scriptural, and looks at the figure of Jesus and questions of discipleship as posed in the New Testament. What is the significance of discipleship in the Gospels? How does this significance speak to our reality? to our vocation as Christians, and as Salesians? These are the questions of the middle portion of Fr. Moloney’ s reflections.

Gustavo Fabian Cavagnari – Salesian youth ministry and family in the light of Amoris Laetitia
In these pages I would like to reflect on youth ministry with a special focus on family. I hope that, by the end of this reflection no one could say that most of the considerations made were on family ministry rather than on youth ministry. Nevertheless, I think we cannot have a different approach to the subject – youth ministry – when as Church and as Congregation we have had recently at least three magisterial indications in that direction: the letter of the Holy Father on the bicentennial of the birth of St. John Bosco, his apostolic exhortation on love in the family, and the 2017 Strenna of the Rector Major.
Bogdan Stańkowski – Giovanni Bosco and young people in the master-apprentice relationship perspective. Upbringing implications in view of work with socially maladjusted youth
The author of this article wants to explore the phenomenology of Giovanni Bosco’s encounter with his pupils. We would like to explain two explorative issues, that is, a) what are the characteristic features of Giovanni Bosco’s relations with his students and what are the resulting implications; and b) how socially maladjusted youth perceive their educator and how such teacher-student relations fit into the category of the master-apprentice dialogue?
