"The competition was a way to let the students of the Salesian Houses learn and participate in the Salesian mission, make it their own in matters of solidarity and acquire experiences and training that strengthen Salesian charism and the Don Bosco Preventive System in them," explained the competition organizers. "They were were also encouraged to consider the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations, keeping in mind the issues of Zero Hunger, inequalities, health, dignity in work, the reduction of poverty ... And so, with their efforts, they have reflected on how they can themselves contribute to working together for change."
