From 18 to 21 September, the Don Bosco Network Board team met at the Provincial House in Madrid to kick off the new school year. Among the most important topics discussed were the management of the emergencies in Ukraine and the earthquake in Syria, the criteria for the admission of new members, the capacity building programme for PDOs, the planning of the year, communication tools and the revision of the Strategic Plan. In addition to the meeting, the Management Team took the opportunity to meet with the Director of Salesian Missions, Fr Luis Manuel Moral, as a member of the network, and with the Provincial Economer, Fr José Luis Riesco, to thank the Salesian Province of Santiago el Mayor for the technical support provided in some bureaucratic matters.
