Due to unforeseen circumstances caused by Covid-19, the World Confederation was unable to celebrate the momentous 150th Anniversary in 2020 and hold the regular General World Assembly in person in 2021. In their Strategic Plan, the Presidency felt the need that to call an Extraordinary General World Assembly where past pupils and friends of Don Bosco from all over the world can `come together to reflect on the past, discern the present, and shape the future‘.
The Presidency of World Confederation of Past Pupils of Don Bosco has unanimously decided to convoke an Extraordinary World General Assembly during its meeting in Vietnam. Here are three compelling reasons why we encourage your attendance:
The Extraordinary General World Assembly is a direct response to the strategic plan for 2021 -2027, which outlines the vision for the future of Past Pupils of Don Bosco. Past pupils and friends of Don Bosco will have the unique chance to contribute their ideas and insights, helping to shape the path forward and ensure continuity in our organisation.
The unfortunate circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic prevented us from coming together to commemorate our 150-year history of achievements. This World Assembly presents a special occasion to honour our rich heritage, pay tribute to the past, and set the stage for an even brighter future. Apart from marking the missed opportunity of our 150th Anniversary, this year the Salesian Family will be commemorating the 200 years from the dream of Don Bosco that started his life project.
