Monteortone, Italy - September 2022 - At the Salesian house in Monteortone, in the province of Padua, from Sept. 1 to 4, social communication offices and teams from the Salesian Provinces of Italy and the associations "Salesians for Social," Salesian Cooperators, Salesian Youth Clubs and the Federation of Past Pupils, gathered for a training on the Infosphere and the digital. Leading the reflection on the topic of the infosphere began Pietro Del Soldà, philosopher, writer and radio host, who focussed on the need for everyone to have a "down-time", or leisure time to challenge themselves, renew themselves; Lisa Iotti, a journalist from the program "Report," on the other hand, pointed out how much the uninterrupted "buzz" that the digital world constantly generates disturbs and prevents people from finding a space to listen to themselves. She then presented data showing how the problem of digital illiteracy involves a great many young people, a problem that as educators we need to know how to deal with. Closing the formation part was Pietro Jarre, entrepreneur and founder of "Sloweb," who focused on digital ecology. The training moments were alternated with group work to share impressions, and think together about a meeting proposal on the infosphere for Salesian youth ministry.
