Argentina - Salesian Accompaniment of Young People
Córdoba, Argentina - November 2021 - During the period of isolation caused by the pandemic, the Salesian National Team of Youth Ministry, made up of FMA and SDB from the five Provinces which operate in Argentina, came up with newer ways of being united with young people. In 2020, among other initiatives, the team promoted a project together with the Professors of the Salesian University of Argentina, setting up telephone counselling lines. With the aim of organizing new in-person meetings, the team met from November 25-27 at the Salesian Provincial House of North Argentina (ARN). On the last day, they were joined by the delegate for Education Fr. Alejandro Musolino, SDB. He, said, "We reflected on all that we had experienced, challenged by the need to accompany young people who have been affected by so many realities that have become evident during this period... After the initiative of telephonic counselling to young people during the pandemic and online meetings on topics to accompany them, we will now proceed with in-person meetings from February 20 to 26, 2022."
