(ANS – Cochabamba) – Around 100 participants, including young coordinators from the various Oratories of the Salesian Family in Bolivia and a large group of lay and religious leaders, gathered on 28 and 29 March 2026 at the Fatima-Don Bosco Retreat House in Cochabamba for the 2026 Salesian Youth Movement Assembly. The Assembly had a dual purpose: to study and reflect on the final document of the 2024 Salesian Youth Synod and to examine the proposal for a new organisational structure of the Salesian Youth Movement in Bolivia. The methodology employed was that proposed by the final document of the Synod on Synodality, “Conversation in the Spirit”. In an atmosphere of prayer and spiritual discernment, participants explored not only the content of the proposal but also the co-responsible and participatory contribution of each person’s dreams for the future of the MGS.
