Italy – 5th edition of the festival event known as "GiòNa – Giovanni Bosco and Naples"
Naples, Italy – January 2024 - On the day of the Feast of Don Bosco, the courtyards of the Salesian Don Bosco Institute in Naples were filled with more than 600 children and 100 educators from all local schools and day centres in Naples to experience the festival event in memory of Don Bosco entitled: "GiòNa" – Giovanni Bosco and Naples, now in its fifth edition. All the children and young people present were able to devote an entire afternoon to games focused on respecting the rules, because there can be no education without legality. A fanfare by the Arma dei Carabinieri welcomed the youngsters with music, creating a festive atmosphere. During the afternoon, participants were involved in a series of fair games, all focused on the theme of legality and compliance with the rules. These allowed everyone to have fun and at the same time, reflect on the main theme, through engaging playful dynamics, collaborating in teams and experiencing the games with mutual support. Following, after the awards of the games in the theater, the councillor for social policies of the Municipality of Naples, Luca Trapanese, the president of the III municipality, Fabio Greco and the Superior of the Southern Salesian Province, Fr Gianpaolo Roma, stressed the importance of the presence and networking of the different educational and day centres, fundamental resources for the young people in the area, thanking educators and formators for all the passion and dedication in their daily service.
