The all-inclusive preventive system

TAINAN and BUENOS AIRES: 24 October 2012-- Two videos expressing a very similar idea, both very interesting in their own right, make today's rather engaging news item once you have, of course, viewed both!

At any rate, settle down and watch the two videos, one in Chinese, the other in Spanish, but the common language is the Preventive System and the common factor in both is that all the staff of both schools (and a good numebr of the pupils) are included as characters in the videos.

Philip was a former student of the Tainan school and in fact was baptised there as a student, before subsequently joining the Salesians. He is keen on video production. You could also watch a third video of his, again all in Chinese but very entertaining. Kids and teachers and their relationship don't alter all that much from country to country! The 'teacher' in this instance though is someone who just wants to be a teacher and decides to give it a try - he doesn't really know quite how to go about it!

The Argentinian version makes a point of showing the entire school playing the same tune and singing the same song - very nicely put together by Fr Edward Meano SDB under the heading of 'Signs of Love'.  He writes in its regard thus:
Videoclip on the theme of "Ser Signos De Amor" (Be Signs of Love) by Eduardo Meana for the community Mass at the Salesian
 Pío IX House (29 October 2010).
More than 50 individuals were recorded, including al the distinct areas of the House and each contributing his or her grain of salt, so to speak by playing an instrument or singing. This is how we create community, all different but integrated, continuing the mission of accompaniment and putting the boys in the House at the centre of it all; they are the key players, the ones to whom we are sent.

There is one more video you might really enjoy - it takes the technical aspect of what you see in the other two to a much higher level, and the inspiration is of course not particularly religious but the result is most inspiring!  Eric Whittaker's talk on TED.

Enjoy!
