(ANS– Rome) – Being faithful to one's origins, but having the ability and originality to communicate clearly with today's world: this was the challenge on which about 150 young religious in formation – Salesians of Don Bosco, Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, but also novices and students of other institutes – reflected together in the afternoon of Friday 3rd and in the morning of Saturday 4 May 2024, at the Pontifical Salesian University (UPS) in Rome, as part of the 14th year of the Salesian Social Communication Days.

(ANS – Rome) – In the digital era, many people think that communicating is having the possibility of accessing social networks, following a profile, "liking" attention-grabbing posts, sharing daily memes, or sending the "San Antonio chain" on WhatsApp... On the other hand, many people think that "communicating" means producing digital content, posting it on a social network and getting lots of "Likes", without realising that they have been trapped by the phenomenon called the "triumph of the selfie", in which people, instead of establishing true communication, reinforce the desire to be recognised. To avoid any ambiguity, and to help establish true communication and true relationships, the Social Communication Sector has scheduled the Communication 2024 Conference, which will take place August 1-7, 2024 at the facilities of the Pontifical Salesian University (UPS) in Rome. And also offers some timely insights today to arrive prepared for the event.
