Throughout the Pandemic, the work of Don Bosco Youth-Net (DBYN) has been continuing virtually. In March 2021, the General Executive Body met to discuss the focal points for the network over the period 2022-2024. Youth Ministries from all over Europe, including Jonny from the UK, and a past Savio House volunteer, Moïse, representing Mouvement Salésien des Jeunes FRB (France and South Belgium).

The day was facilitated by Aubérie, the general secretary of DBYN, Niklas, the president of DBYN, and Visuality, who are a European company that facilitate group mind-mapping and collecting ideas from group discussions.

The day focused around discussions about the state of affairs of the network, the activities that were planned in the year ahead, as well as discussing the effects that the Coronavirus pandemic is having in all of our countries.

Once all of the hard work was done, we were guided through a reflection and prayer by Br Mike Goldsmits SDB before some time to chat and enjoy the achievements of the day.

Hopefully we will have our first in-person meeting since January 2020 in Turin, Italy in October 2021.
