The meeting of educators was the first of the acts scheduled for the entire weekend, and during his speech Fr. Á.F. Artime encouraged lay educators to live the Salesian charism in a shared way together with Salesian religious because in order to carry on the Salesian works it is necessary to "make sure that the charism is alive," regardless of whether it is a religious or a lay person who animates the works. Therefore, he expressed full confidence in the laity and stressed that it is necessary to "take care of the processes of transmission of the charism."
Before taking his leave, the 10th Successor of Don Bosco also stressed that it is necessary to welcome and host young people in the situations in which they find themselves, without regretting other situations or contexts of the past, but thinking about helping them integrate into society.
