The conversation between the Superior General of the Congregation and the various Provincials of Central and Northern Europe will continue on the morning of Wednesday 8 May; in the afternoon there will be an excursion to Maribor, the birthplace of the Servant of God Fr Andrej Majcen, which will be completed with a celebration of thanksgiving to the Rector Major and a festive cultural evening led by Salesian youth groups in Slovenia.

On Thursday, May 9, several specific topics will be explored: the Salesian presence in European organisms and structures; the animation of the Salesian Family in the region; the formation of the Salesians; the Project "Exallievi MOR 2020". Furthermore, each Province will have the opportunity to present the provincial journey undertaken and to be undertaken towards the General Chapter.
