Spain – Start of Campobosco 2024 in Barcelona, with 600 young people from the Salesian Youth Movement in Portugal and Spain
Barcelona, Spain – July 2024 - The afternoon of Tuesday 30 July marked the beginning of an unforgettable adventure for the 600 young people of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) from Spain and Portugal who gathered at the Salesians' house in Martí-Codolar in Barcelona to kick off Campobosco 2024. These boys and girls, full of enthusiasm and ready to immerse themselves in this experience, after settling in the structures of the Salesian work, have forgotten the fatigue of the journey and left room for the excitement of the meetings and the passion for the days that await them. Then came the most anticipated moment of the day, the inauguration of Campobosco, a simple event that took place in the evening, lasted just over an hour, during which the Provinces present were presented and the various teams and young people, sitting in front of the stage, enjoyed a spontaneous musical moment. The participants also learned the official anthem of this edition, composed by "Árbol de Zaqueo", a musical group that will accompany young people during the pilgrimage to the Salesian places in Barcelona and Piedmont. In addition to the greeting from the coordinating team, a first group meeting was also held, followed by activites for groups of origin. The first day ended with the traditional Salesian Goodnight by Sister Charo Ten, Provincial of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians in Spain.
