Aiming to highlight and publicize all the work already developed by the different teams, which are on their way to World Youth Day (WYD) Lisbon 2023, the interviews were recorded at the "Carris Museum," in Lisbon, and featured the city's emblematic and distinctive streetcar as a backdrop.
From the coordination team to the communication team, not forgetting the administration team, the events team, such as the team in charge of the days in the dioceses or the secretariat team, most of the teams that make up WYD DON BOSCO 23 had the opportunity to introduce themselves and to present the work they have already developed, sharing achievements and difficulties, positive moments and more difficult ones.
Conducted by Pedro Carvalho, a volunteer of the organization and student of Communication and Multimedia, these interviews are a way to share with young people around the world the work done by the volunteers of the various teams.
They will be posted biweekly, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, on the WYD DON BOSCO 23 website and YouTube channel.
WYD DON BOSCO 23 is the name of the Salesian Youth Movement organization responsible for convening and fostering the participation of young people from different Salesian environments around the world in WYD Lisbon 2023, to make it live according to the charism of Don Bosco. WYD DON BOSCO 23 wants to motivate young people to walk this path as a pilgrimage that will strengthen their faith and challenge other young people who are further from the faith to know and recognize the living Christ.
The name of the organization, WYD DON BOSCO 23, is the result of combining the acronym in English referring to World Youth Day (WYD), and a play on the English word "with,"; the reference to Don Bosco, founder of the Salesian Family; and the date of the event.
Located in Santo Amaro Station, the Museu da Carris tells the story of the "Carris de Ferro de Lisboa" Company and is an exhibition space on the history of public transportation in Lisbon and industrial archaeology. Divided into two nuclei, the first presents a collection of documents, miniatures, and objects that tell the story of Carris transportation. A 1901 streetcar then takes visitors to the second core, where the actual streetcars that ran in the city of Lisbon from the late 19th century are located. The Carris Museum aims to offer an exciting journey through time, telling stories of daily life that are preserved in the memory of the city and the vehicles that ran through it.
