Italy - TGS EXPERIENCE Formation Weekend
Rome, Italy - November 2023 - The TGS Experience formation weekend - "#SULLASTRADADEISOGOGNI", promoted by the national Youth and Social Tourism APS association took place from 10 to 12 November at the Centro Nazionale Opere Salesiane in Rome. The event was attended by TGS young people coming from different parts of Italy. The first part of the formation workshop on how to "build a journey, an itinerary" took place on the first day. Each group will be able to take this experiene and transfer to its local area to propose/activate new initiatives and proposals. On Saturday there was a visit to institutional and historical sites, followed by a visit to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and a guided tour of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Don Bosco’s rooms, with Mass. On Sunday, Fr Elio Cesari, SDB, President of the National Salesian Works Centre, presented the Pastoral Proposal 2023/2024, entitled: "You see further than I do. Signposts to return to dreaming #sullastradadeisogni (on the road of dreams)". The second and final part of the workshop provided for the construction, by working groups, of a possible "itinerary" with specific information to test the participants in the organisation of formation/sightseeing routes, tourist initiatives under the banner of knowledge, and environmental appreciation of the territory in the context of formation activities.
