Hong Kong – EAO Formation and Social Communication Delegates come together

14 November 2019

(ANS – Hong Kong) – A few days before the Apostolic visit of Pope Francis to Thailand and Japan, the incoming East Asia-Oceania meeting of Social Communication, together with the Formation Delegates in Hong Kong, is also upon us. Together with three General Councillors – Fr Ivo Coelho (Formation), Fr Filiberto González (Social Communication) and Fr Vaclav Klement (EAO) – there will also be circa 30 Provincial Delegates for both sectors. Scheduled: four joint sessions (SC-Formation) and specific times for each sector delegates.

SC Councilor Father González clearly spells out the three goals of this formative annual meeting:

“The first goal is to answer the question: "What kind of Salesian communicators for the youth of the digital world? We are looking for the profile of Salesian communicator with 4 inseparable and complementary elements: Living together, being, knowing and doing. Second: How to make the GC28 live to the Salesians, lay people and young people in the own province. Third: presentation of a good practice of Social Communication in a time limit of ten minutes.”

The SC delegates are meeting after two years (Vietnam, K’Long, in November 2017) and will evaluate their resolutions at personal, province and regional levels as regards: fostering communications via EAO regional and SDB world news (ANS) in both directions, also involving Lay Mission Partners and Young; working more closely with the YM, Mission Animation and Formation commissions; fostering Education and Formation sessions on Social Media (target on SDB and Salesian Family); supporting AustraLasia News and www.bosco.link (Boscolink).

Among the specific topics pertaining to updates, this SC delegate meeting shall also discuss The Salesian Bulletin Editors (2019), the 2019 Salesian Translators Handbook and Salesian Dictionary and Corporate Identity (SDB logo-related issues).
