Portugal – WYD DON BOSCO 23 as found on social networks

07 July 2023

(ANS – Lisbon) – There are 25 days to go until the beginning of World Youth Day, which will be held in Lisbon from 1 to 6 August and will gather many young people from all over the world in the Portuguese capital, ready to meet Pope Francis and experience a true celebration of youth together. With the approach of this important and long-awaited event, WYD DON BOSCO 23 - the Salesian Youth Movement organisation responsible for the convocation and involvement of young people from different Salesian settings around the world in the upcoming WYD - invites us to learn about the great work it is doing on the main social networks.

“We have so much enthusiasm and want to share  everything we are preparing with you through the main social networks, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube,” explains DON BOSCO 23.

There is a lot of creative content available on the organisation's social channels, in fact, , such as testimonials from young people, practical information, details of the program, invitations to activities that will take place before the start of the WYD and much more. Being part of this community on social networks, they explain, means being part of a journey of faith and fraternity.

In particular, WYD DON BOSCO 23 is to be found on the following platforms:

Referring to Don Bosco, Patron of the next World Youth Day in Lisbon, we are therefore all invited to join this great community which is growing day by day. “Invite your friends, family and colleagues as well” WYD DON BOSCO 23 said in a statement. “The more people who join us, the more strength and inspiration we will have to make a difference in the world.”

WYD DON BOSCO 23 is the name of the Salesian Youth Movement organisation responsible for the convocation and participation of young people from different Salesian backgrounds around the world in WYD Lisbon 2023, so it can be experienced according to the charism of Don Bosco. WYD DON BOSCO 23 seeks to motivate young people to walk this path as a pilgrimage that strengthens their faith and challenges other young people farther from the faith to know and recognise the living Christ.

The name of the organisation, WYD DON BOSCO 23, is the result of the combination of the acronym in English that refers to World Youth Day (WYD), and the English word “with”; the reference to Don Bosco, founder of the Salesian Family; and the date of the event.
