(ANS - České Budějovice) - Salesians and their collaborators in České Budějovice, Czech Republic, are preparing three summer camps for young Ukrainian refugees. After their extraordinarily painful experiences over the past four months, this is not a luxury, but a necessity.

(ANS - Bratislava) - The time of summer is getting closer and closer and so, all those activities that under various names - GREST, oratory or summer center, or camp - are about to start, activities that throughout the Salesian world mean a time to grow together for: religious, volunteers, animators and animated. This year, following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, in many realities throughout Europe specific activities are already being organized for Ukrainian refugee children abroad. This is the case, for example, of the "Mary Help of Christians" Province of Slovakia (SLK).

Tijuana, Mexico - July 2021 - Under the motto "With hope we transform our reality", for three weeks the complex of works of the "Proyecto Salesiano Tijuana" brought together more than 900 children, adolescents and young people in the city's six Salesian centers. This year's program of the "Happy Holidays with Jesus" initiative (VAFEJE, in Spanish) was spiced with joy, games, sports and moments of spirituality. On the last day, Friday 23 July, all the participants gathered to close this experience together. Subsequently, the more than 100 activity animators gathered for a day of evaluation and sharing on the initiative, culminating in a Eucharist presided over by Fr Agustín Novoa, Director of the "Proyecto Salesiano Tijuana".

Vienna, Austria - July 28, 2021 - The week of summer activities of the Salesian Czech-speaking Cooperators in Grossarl ended with great satisfaction on the part of all. Children and young people managed the special situation – due to the anti-COVID-19 health regulations - with maturity and optimism, and each of the 50 people collaborated to ensure that everything went well.

(ANS - Vilnius) – Again this summer, despite the great limitations due to the containment measures of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Salesian oratory in the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, wanted to offer children and young people an intense educational and leisure for the summer months. The Summer Day Center held for a few weeks at the "St. John Bosco" church in Vilnius attracted great interest, with the registration of more than 350 children, many of whom came from various parts of the city.

(ANS - Vatican City) - On Friday 30 July 2021, the adventure of the Youth Summer Camp in the Vatican ended after six weeks, a second edition dedicated to the theme of Ecology, following the reflections proposed by the booklet "Sei dei nostra!" (Elledici publishing house). Again this year, the initiative took place in environments not designated for educational and play activities for children, but the transformation of places such as the "Paul VI" Hall for papal audiences proved to be a wonderful solution that favored a exceptional climate of interaction and education.
