Pensabene said on the occasion: "I am very happy with the establishment of this GEX group and the work that is being done. I see a lot of enthusiasm, commitment and desire to work together, and this is just the beginning. "
The meeting was attended by young past pupils from Malta, Spain, Hungary, Slovakia, Italy, Poland and Ukraine. During the meeting, each leader presented the organisation in their country, the young past pupils who are part of it and the activities carried out over the last period.
In the second part of the meeting, Bryan Magro, President of the World Confederation of Past Pupils of Don Bosco, was guest speaker and spoke about the mission of the Past Pupils and provided multiple points for reflection to the participants.
Magro said: "Change can be achieved by having more active GEX in our organisation... If we want to survive we need GEX! And if we are truly Salesians and belong to Don Bosco, young people must be the key players in our organisation!"
Finally, in the last part of the meeting, the next activities to be carried out in 2024 were discussed, first of all the "Leader School", where the new leaders can be formed.
The next online meeting is scheduled for 31 August at 8:00 pm (UTC+2), and any young past pupil who wants to participate can request access by writing to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
