Bolivia - Salesian days of communication
Cochabamba, Bolivia - January 2023 - With the aim of strengthening communication networking among the environments and sectors of the Salesian Works of the Bolivia Province (BOL), the Salesian Days of Communication were held from January 18 to 20 at the Retreat House in Fátima. Through training and information on the key elements of Social Communication shared with the nearly 50 participants from across the country, it was possible to consolidate the integration of communication workers from the five regions, where Salesian Works are present and are succeeding in making a positive change in the lives of Bolivians. Fr. Miguel Ángel Córdova, Delegate for Social Communication of the BOL Province, led the entire process of organizing and preparing the training of participants, on topics in line with the directives of the Social Communication Department. Among the key elements covered were: key principles for literary and journalistic writing in various newsletters; the proper use of the SDB logo as an institutional image; presentation of tools for interesting narrative construction; and the use of the smartphone for managing videos and short films to make a captivating audiovisual presentation. The days were accompanied by Fr. Henry Córdova, Delegate for Youth Ministry of the BOL Province, who led an integral formation on the Rector Major's Strenna 2023, promoting the identification of the main axes of the Global Educational Covenant, and exhorting all Salesian communities to be leaven in today's human family. Some good practices implemented in the area of accompaniment and work done in Salesian institutions were also shared.
