Johannesburg, South Africa – September 2024 – 300 young people from all Salesian presences in the Salesian Vice-Province of Southern Africa (AFM) comprising South Africa, Lesotho and eSwatini, accompanied by Salesians, Educators, consecrated members of the Salesian Family, staff of the Projects and Youth Ministry Office, had a wonderful experience at the Ubuntu-Youth Synod.  from 29 August to 1 September. Only two weeks after the closing of the Youth Synod in Turin - Colle Don Bosco (11-16 August) with participants from all over the Salesian world, the young Salesians from AFM also experienced a similar event in their environment. This event was also a merger of the Laudato Si 'Movement, thanks to the ongoing AFM "Eco Ubuntu" project (2023-2026) in all three AFM countries. The various group workshops also included interactive sessions on green and environmental skills with university lectures. Involving all the groups of the Salesian Family of the AFM Vice-Province (SDB, FMA, MSMHC, Salesian Cooperators, Past Pupils of Don Bosco and ADMA aspirants), it was also a good opportunity for a vocational workshop, with a round table and sharing of vocation stories by the respective groups of the Salesian Family. The theme of the 2024 Salesian Mission Day - "Builders of dialogue" - resonated in the Ubuntu-Youth Synod in many ways, especially through a workshop session animated by Clarence Watts, Delegate for Social Communication in the AFM Vice-Province and his staff.
