In presenting the objectives and meaning of this day of dialogue, Fr José Miguel Núñez Moreno, Director of the Salesian National Center for Youth Ministry and coordinator of this formation day, clarified: "In this second edition of the dialogues on youth ministry, we want to enter into the dialogue between artificial intelligence and pastoral intelligence, convinced that the meeting is necessary to continue making youth ministry a fruitful service from the educational point of view and at the service of the transmission of the faith."
The day is aimed primarily at teachers and formators in schools, social educators, youth leaders in leisure platforms, catechists and animators of faith education courses, as well as formators active in other educational fields.
The meeting is being organised by the Salesians in Spain and is open to all interested religious, ecclesial and educational bodies.
