Costa Rica – February 2024 - On Saturday, 24 February, the Salesian Cooperators in the Interamerica Region celebrated their first regional formation meeting of 2024 (online) on the theme "A lifestyle for sustainable development". The event was coordinated by the Regional Executive Secretariat of the ASC and led by Ms Cinzia Arena, Emeritus Administrator of the Association of Salesian Cooperators. Ms Arena developed her presentation highlighting that sustainable development is based on the sharing of responsibilities, talents and best practices, leaving aside an the individualistic approach, the result of unbridled capitalism, to adopt a new lifestyle that considers the well-being of present and future generations, building together. She invited them to offer an optimistic vision of the present and a hope for the future, to be an example of a different lifestyle and generate happiness, and presented a list of 13 sustainable and supportive behaviours, based on the reflections that emerged in the different meetings in which she had participated. Subsequently, the ASC regional councillor, Martín Calderón, spoke and drew a general conclusion on the subject. Juanita Silva, responsible for formation in the region, reported on the various workshops that will be held during the year, in addition to information on the 2nd Regional Meeting of Young ASCs. In addition, the next online event was presented, on Saturday, 9 March, on the report by Fr Ricardo Campoli, Delegate of the Sector for Social Communication for the Interamerica and America South Cone Regions on "Caring for our Digital Identity".
