The theme chosen for this year was: "ADMA - living the essential in this time of pandemic and beyond".

(ANS - Quito) - Ten years ago some young people from different countries gathered in Cumbayá, Ecuador, for the First Meeting of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) of the Interamerica Region. On that occasion, they gained many experiences, learned many lessons and from there many fruits emerged. In this 2020, with so many challenges and a pandemic in progress, the idea of a new virtual meeting was born amid the young people of the time, the young adults of today, which took place on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October, with 2 hours a day lived between prayer, reflection and sharing as friends and brothers.
