Brussels, Belgium – January 2024 - The "TGS18 + Brussels" experience has just ended for a group of young people from the Salesian Astori Institute in Mogliano Veneto (Treviso), accompanied by the social promotion association TGS Eurogroup, promoted by the Salesian St Mark's Italy North-East Province (INE). The study trip to discover the European institutions took place from 23 to 26 January 2024 and is part of the "TGS for Schools" programme, thanks to which schools and formation bodies request the collaboration of the Salesian association as a partner for specific activities and tailor-made projects in the field of youth tourism. The students were received by the Honourable Rosanna Conte who hosted them and had the opportunity to accompany them inside the seat of Parliament, explaining to them the parliamentary activity, visiting the Hemicycle and the offices. "An opportunity for young people to discover the role of the EU institutions, promoting a greater understanding of the importance of European cooperation – explained the Hon. Conte –. "I have seen young people who are attentive and receptive, happy and curious to understand how this great machine that has such an impact on our lives, works." The students visited the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the House of European History, the "Parlamentarium" visitor centre, and had several interesting meetings with civil society: the European Youth Forum, the European Centre for Volunteering, the Commission of the Episcopal Conferences of the European Union, Don Bosco International and Don Bosco Youth-Net.
