This article approaches the theme of Salesian pedagogy of life choice and vocation on two levels of argumentation. The first level analyzes the change in Salesian pedagogy of vocation that originate from the post Vatican II youth ministry model. The Salesian Congregation switched from a traditional "state of life" choice education to an approach spinning around unconditional acceptance and personalized planning of life. The second level offers strategic proposals for the actual education of life choices and vocation is linked to the challenges of the postmodern fluid societies; to the Salesian pedagogical principles of the past and to a transformational model of education, ministry and vocation.
