France - March 2021 - On 12 and 13 March the first sessions of Salesian Youth Ministry on the theme "Moved by Hope" were held via video conference, with the participation of various members of the Salesian Family: headmasters, students, educators, teachers, animators and young people of the SYM. About 120 connections were recorded, including some from groups, from France, Morocco, Tunisia, Guadeloupe, Belgium and Italy. Fr Fabio Attard, former General Councilor for Youth Ministry, currently Coordinator of the Ongoing Formation Project for Salesians and Laity in Europe, invited the participants to recognize the temptations that may arise in the face of this pandemic: fear, inertia, closure, pessimism. By proposing a way to resist "It is not so much a question of doing as of being"; and strengthening one's relationship with Jesus and the values of the Gospel. "Hope is above all an attitude of a heart full of the presence of Jesus," said Fr Attard, exhorting us to be particularly attentive to listening to young people, to welcoming them, as Don Bosco did, and to helping families in difficulty to cause of the pandemic.
