Ecuador – "BoscoCamp 2024": young Salesian communicators learn to evangelise with Artificial Intelligence
Cuenca, Ecuador – October 2024 – "BoscoCamp 2024" took place from 16 to 18 October at the Baguanchi Congress Centre in Cuenca, with 58 participants from 14 communities of the Salesians of Don Bosco and 11 participants from 3 communities of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. The event allowed participants to explore and acquire tools and skills to face the challenges of evangelisation in the digital age, through communication workshops focused on the use of mobile devices for audiovisual production and sound and graphic production with the use of AI. Through practical sessions in different "Bosco Labs", young communicators learned to create multimedia content, videos for social networks and effective strategies to capture the attention of young audiences, and above all they understood the importance of being authentic and creative in the processing of content. The work organised in groups to develop projects and share experiences and visions was also fundamental. The activities were carried out by a team of teachers and students from the Communication Faculty of the Salesian Polytechnic University.
