Don Bosco's Preventive System: 
13 month course, HK

HONG KONG: 19 September 2013 --  The first session of the 13-month course on Don Bosco Preventive System has started. The session took place on 13 September 2013.  The aim of this course is to raise the knowledge of Preventive System, expressing it in modern terms, so as to enhance our mission of serving the young. This course is planned to be held every other year, so that it can achieve the goal of promoting Salesian pedagogy and Salesian spirituality. This course is not only beneficial to parishes and schools, it will also contribute to the education of Hong Kong society.

There will be 13 sessions with different guest speakers who are specialized in one or other aspect of the Preventive System. The themes of the course are very comprehensive. Different practical perspectives of the  Preventive System will be presented from a variety of angles: social science, modern trends, humanism, family spirit, creativity, religion, optimism, accompaniment, etc. 

Cardinal Joseph Zen was the first speaker for the course. The social background of Don Bosco influenced his pedagogy, which catered for the urgent needs of the young in his time. He also studied and collected what others were doing for the young in order to develop his own pedagogy. The Oratory was not invented by Don Bosco but he initiated the boarding oratory. Don Bosco also had a good number of photos taken, something quite unusual for his time. He wanted to promote his work but not himself. These matters reflected that Don Bosco was very sensitive to the situational factors of his time when he was serving the young as the mission of his life. 

There will be one session each month. On finishing the whole course, given 85% attendance and completing a case study, a graduation certificate will be presented to the participant.
