Chile – Start of SYM activities: "A dream that has changed your story and mine"
Santiago, Chile – April 2024 - The activities of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) for 2024 began on Saturday, 13 April. The place chosen for the occasion was the same place where it all began 50 years ago, the Camilo Ortúzar Montt school in Macul, where over 400 young people from all over the country converged. The celebration was particularly special, given that 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the existence of SYM in Chile and the 200th anniversary of Don Bosco's Childhood dream. The motto chosen for the occasion was: "A dream that has changed your story and mine". During the day after the reception animated by the music of the Bosco Sonora Band, there were entertainment shows, moments of reflection and sharing focused on gratitude for those who made these 50 years of SYM possible. Fr David Rivera, Provincial Delegate for Salesian Youth Ministry, stressed that this great initial activity of the SYM takes place in all Salesian presences in the country and that every year there are more and more participants.
