Brussels, Belgium – March 2024 - The first pilot activity of the new project entitled National Social Youth Tourism has ended recently: "(B)Europe: an experience to share", a first experience in collaboration with the Salesian Institute in Soverato. From 22 to 26 February 2024, a group of 25 young people from the St Anthony of Padua classical high school run by the Salesian community in Soverato, were accompanied for a study visit to the city of Brussels, a formation course for active European citizenship. The aim is to reflect on what it means to be European citizens and on the common cultural heritage that unites the various peoples of Europe. Supported by some members of the high school faculty, and with the support of partner organisations such as Don Bosco Youth-Net and Don Bosco International, participants experienced days full of meaning. Starting with visits to the main European institutions and the European Economic and Social Committee, and guests of the "Meet the Champions of Excellence" event, young people had the opportunity to learn about the EU's internal skills and mechanisms through interactive experiences where they could immerse themselves in the work of a European parliamentary committee. Subsequently, the group also had the opportunity to meet several representatives of European civil society: Don Bosco Youth-Net, BoscoBase, Don Bosco International, European Centre for Volunteering, European Youth Forum, a delegation of the European Parliament's communication team, touching and discussing current and concrete issues for their future together.
