The speakers, who represented various sectors of the Salesian mission, enriched the contents of the meeting through their interventions and in the moments of dialogue and exchange of experiences, and in this way were able to offer new perspectives on Salesian charismatic action in Europe.

All the participants expressed their heartfelt thanks to the Provincial of Austria, Fr Siegfried Kettner, for the generous welcome and the fraternal atmosphere experienced.
