Again this year, the Youth Festival gathered around 6,000 young people between the ages of 15 and 30, who belong to the area's Salesian Family.

After opening remarks of welcome and animation at the Pala Arrex of Jesolo, a show animated by the young of the workshops and "DBLIVE" began with a contribution of several youths of the Bari Oratory, who explored the theme #nessunoescluso.

After the celebration of Mass and the break for lunch, the celebration became even more animated as it moved outside and opened a whole series of workshops and itineraries organized by associations and territorial realities. Finally, after the last moments of animation together, the second part of the #nessunoescluso show was presented. It closed the day's activities by reiterating the central message of the event: though it may seem out of fashion today, it is, indeed, possible to give and to give oneself without gain or personal advantage, to love in an authentic and sincere way.

Music, games, shows, exhibitions, workshops, testimonies and animation were also the ingredients of the Festa dei Ragazzi, or the Children's Festival, which took place the following Sunday, always in Jesolo, maintaining the structure and the basic message of the Youth Festival, but adapting it for the 9-14 age group.

Both events also resonated far and wide on social networks, since for the past three years, young people have been invited to collaborate in spreading the message of the celebrations in what are digital courtyards.

The purpose of these events is to allow young people to live a Church event wherein to grasp the dimension of faith and the Christian message in all its beauty, in the conviction, as Pope Francis says, that "the joy of the Gospel fills one's whole heart and life."
