Organising Hope <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Programme Document stems from “Organising Hope”, a participatory process that spanned the entire country, actively involving members, educators and young people from different regions. It was not merely a consultative process, but a true exercise in associative democracy, capable of generating vision, responsibility and shared decisions. From the North-West, with Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta, together with Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna at the meetings in Turin and Milan, to the North-East in Mestre; from central Italy to the South, with the discussion in Bari, finally reaching Sicily: a journey that transformed listening to the regions into political direction, giving voice to experiences and translating them into priorities and commitments for the entire network.<\/p>\n

As Don Tonino Bello once said, “It is not enough to hope; we must organise hope”<\/em>: this is the foundation of a document that is not merely a plan, but a concrete vision.<\/p>\n

The Programme Document 2026–2029 is a compass for the entire Network: it guides decisions, defines educational and social priorities, and strengthens our ability to make an impact in local communities. It addresses the major challenges — educational poverty, vulnerability, early school leaving, and the risk of deviance — but above all, it captures the faces of the young people we meet every day.<\/p>\n

Alongside the institutional proceedings, the Assembly will also host a new edition of the Salesians for Social Youth Forum, a space created to give a voice to young people from all over Italy. It is here that the Assembly finds its most vibrant spirit: young people are not only listened to, but become active protagonists in shaping perspectives and plans for the future.<\/p>\n

Fr Francesco Preite, national president of Salesians for Social, sums up the essence of this journey as follows: ‘This Document is not the product of armchair theorising, but of life in our local communities: of listening, of dialogue, of the shared desire to truly be there for the young people entrusted to us.’ He adds: “The Assembly in Naples will be a moment of synthesis and renewal: an opportunity to recognise ourselves as a Network and to continue to organise hope, transforming it into concrete opportunities for those who have had less in life.”<\/p>\n

Naples is a symbolic city, where fragility coexists with an extraordinary energy of redemption. It is the place to come together, to synthesise and to relaunch the Network’s journey.<\/p>\n

Taking part in the Assembly is a step that concerns everyone: members, member organisations and supporting friends. Being present means bringing the voice of the local communities and helping to build the future together, continuing to believe in young people — especially the most vulnerable — and in their potential.<\/p>\n
