Italy – "Missionary Dreams" Contest Announced

06 March 2025

(ANS – Genoa) – On November 11, 2025, the 150th anniversary of the First Salesian Missionary Expedition will be celebrated. Among the many activities planned by various Salesian communities, one of the highlights is the launch of a contest for the inauguration of the new Missionary Expeditions Museum at the Genoa-Sampierdarena House.

The contest calls for the creation of five panels/artworks representing the five Missionary Dreams. The winner will have the opportunity to display their work in a dedicated space within the New Museum. Officially launched on February 11, 2025, the contest will accept submissions until May 24, 2025.

"The main goal is not only to reward the winners, but to encourage reflection on missionary and educational themes, raising awareness of Salesian values. This initiative seeks to engage participants not just through artistic skills but also through a commitment to social and religious awareness. To ‘dream’ in the same direction as Don Bosco means taking action, taking a stand, and not remaining indifferent to the challenges of our time," explain the contest organizers.
