Quito, Ecuador – November 2024 – The 37th Assembly of the National Council of Salesian Education (CONESA) took place from 27 to 29 November, a space for dialogue, reflection and planning around the Salesian educational mission in Ecuador. For three days, directors, rectors, vice-rectors, coordinators, teachers and heads of Salesian School Centres (CES) worked together to strengthen the Salesian School Project (PES), based on the richness of the charism of Don Bosco and the current needs of young people. Participants analysed the current state of Salesian institutions and their vision for the future. Fr Michal Vojtás, professor at the Pontifical Salesian University (UPS) in Rome and Director of the Don Bosco Study Centre, shared key ideas on the world's contemporary educational challenges from a Salesian perspective. With his extensive experience in the educational field and his deep knowledge of the Salesian charism, Fr Vojtáš shared reflections on educational challenges in a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. He stressed the need for the ESC not only to adapt to this evolving context, but to become a space for transformative leadership, capable of forming resilient, critical young people who are committed to building a more just and fraternal future. His vision inspired the participants to rethink their educational practices, promoting educational-pastoral communities that respond with hope and courage to the needs of a constantly changing global environment. The National Youth Directorate also participated in the meeting, to offer its perspective, which enriched the speeches and reflections and made it possible to align educational strategies with real needs, concerns and aspirations of the recipients of the Salesian mission.
