Belgium - First European meeting of international Catholic youth organizations
Brussels, Belgium - April 2018 - On April 26, at the headquarters of the Commission of the Episcopal Conferences of the European Community (COMECE), the first European meeting of international Catholic youth organizations was held, with the "Don Bosco International" represented, in quality of facilitator and coordinator of the meeting, and the "Don Bosco Youth Net", as one of the most active Catholic youth organizations. The meeting began with a greeting from Fr Olivier Poquillon, OP, Secretary General of COMECE, who enthusiastically supports this process, given the willingness of the bishops of Brussels for the voices of young people to be heard by the institutions. The content of the meeting was multi-faceted: the presence of several organizations in the European Youth Forum, the latest updates on policies in favor of young people in the European Union, the activities carried out by the various youth organizations with migrants and refugees, the follow-up given to the Synod on Youth, all with the aim of finding ways of social and political dialogue with various political actors at national and European levels.
