Certain of the fact, that to fulfil the educational mission, which the Lord entrusts us with as followers of Don Bosco, we must acquire the ability to combine “educational passion” and “pedagogical expertise”. In doing so, we set in motion our knowledge, our understanding and our ability to intervene during this year of Bicentenary of the birth of Don Bosco. In this way, we would like to set an effective course of reflection, exchange, and debate so that we can expand the knowledge, understanding and the competence of educational participation.
