France – Young people and adults from the Don Bosco network in the north meet in Lille to celebrate the Citizenship Challenge
Lille, France – November 2024 – More than 70 participants gathered at the Lycée Notre-Dame d 'Annay, a Salesian house in Lille, for the annual meeting of the Don Bosco network in the north. The latter brings together social, school and parish works from Guînes (near Calais) to Tournai, on the other side of the Franco-Belgian border, passing through Bailleul, Lille, Ronchin and Blandain. The purpose of the event was to reaffirm the commitment of young people in Salesian houses and to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the "Défi Citoyenneté" programme, the "Citizenship Challenge". The responsibilities and practices related to the project have been revisited and good moments of reflection and sharing have resulted. At the end of the meeting, appointments were set between the Salesian houses to maintain ties and carry out common projects.
