In our sessions we discusse:
– Plan of communication: The need to invite all groups and institutions to be more intentional about sharing all their activities and presence on the social media. The RYLC created a Facebook page and has plans to publish various articles about Districts’ happenings on a monthly basis. The RYLC will also be publishing some infographics to present and explain the RYLC and its mission.

– Formation Programme – Summer 2017: The RYLC is moving along with its plans for an international course for young professionals working in Lasallian schools in RELEM. This course will focus on Spirituality and Catechism in the 21st Century. This will be held in August 2017. The Council reviewed the program and proposed place and dates. More information about this will be made available soon.

– ICYL Meeting Suggestions and 5 Year Plan: The International Coordinator for Young Lasallians, Antoine Béland, explained different initiatives and projects of the International Council of Young Lasallians and the areas of priority Towards 2021. This helped the Council align its 5-Year Plan to that of the ICYL and the Institute.

– Preparation of Report to Brother Visitors Conference and a letter to Brother Visitors and the RELEM MEL Commission.

We want to thank Antoine in a special way. Firstly, for his presence, insights and help during our meeting, but also, for his unconditional and contagious dedication with which he faces the many critical projects he has been entrusted with. Chapeau, Antoine!

It was indeed another significant meeting helping us to enhance our work for the Young Lasallians in RELEM, the adolescents and young adults on which the future of the Lasallian Vocation, and Mission, depends so heavily in Europe and the Mediterranean.

Durante estos cuatro días, más de 300 scouts entre niños, jóvenes, educadores, comité de padres, hermanos, … hemos podido disfrutar de  diferentes actividades y visitas a Valencia, bajo un ambiente de compañerismo y escultismo.

Todo comenzaba el día jueves 24, poco a poco los grupos fueron llegando desde lejos, algunos muy temprano, otras más tarde pero al fin llegamos todos y pudimos inaugurar por todo lo alto LaSalleJam16. Se izaron por primera vez las banderas al viento, se saludó y animó a todos los presentes y se dio la bienvenida a todos a la cuarta edición de LaSalleJam.

Por la noche se realizó el gran acto de inauguración, contando con la presencia del Hno. Nacho Aguilar, delegado de Pastoral del Distrito, Hno. José María Valero, Visitador Auxiliar del Sector Valencia-Palma, Hno. Miguel Ángel Sanz, delegado de Pastoral del Sector y representantes de las dos Federaciones:  Scouts Valencians y FEV – MEV. Allí se pudo vivir escultismo en estado puro: muchas risas, agradecimientos, deseos e intenciones positivas, música y canciones scouts y muchas ganas de pasarlo bien.

Muchas gracias a todos los grupos participantes, a aquellos hermanos, directores, y personas que quisieron estar al lado nuestro disfrutando de esta gran LaSalleJam16.

No tenemos más palabras de agradecimiento, de gratitud hacia todos y cada uno de los que habéis hecho posible LaSallejam16.

Ahora solo nos quedan los sueños y esperanzas y esperar a ver… dónde será la próxima LaSalleJam.

Looking to the future

YOUNG LASALLIANS

In the third week-end of November 2015 (from 20 to 22), The RELEM Young Lasallians Council met at the Generalate in Rome to consider the possibility of continuing to work with and for Young Lasallians and also to see what we can learn from  the reality of each district.

The members present were:

– Lorenzo Cutore (Italy) for District of Italy – Chair of the RYLC.

– BérengèrePichelin (France) – District of France – Vice Chair of the RYLC.

– Fernando Eslava (Spain) –  District of ARLEP

– Cristina Martisca-Cosa (Romania) – District of Central Europe

– Joseph Gilson (Malta) – District of Ireland, Great Britain and Malta

– Br. Jean François Morlier – General Councilor’s Delegate on the Council

– Br. Aidan Kilty – General Councilor for RELEM

Though the general councilor had found the person he was looking for at the last meeting, Céline Gillardin from the District of Belgium North couldn’t be with us.

 

In our sessions we discussed:

– WYD 2016 at Krakow – for which Young People are getting organized through their Dioceses, in most districts. France is organizing a pre-WYD, specially for Lasallians but open to all the other youths,  in Beauvais.

– Plan of communication –  We realize it is very impotent to share our good practice and it is important to encourage all the sectors to keep sending the good news to the district councilor and through him to RELEM and to the Institute in general.

– Upcoming RELEM Young Lasallian Formation Projects – is a proposal for the next few years

a. Summer 2016 ­ WYD Krakow

b. Summer 2017 ­ Spirituality and Catechism in the 21st Century

c. Summer 2018 ­ Formation opportunity for young teachers focusing on a school related theme: Language learning-teaching; Technology, etc

d. Summer 2019 ­ Project in cooperation with RELEM NGO Group

– Preparation for Conference of Visitors ­ YL RELEM Report to Brothers Visitor ­ for April 2016

– Preparation of Report for ICYL 2016 meeting – was a moment of sharing and, helped by a survey, we saw the reality of  Terms, Structures, Formations Community  and Vision with  regards to the Young Lasallians  in each District

– Young Lasallian Movement Italy ­ 28 Oct ­ Nov 2 2016 – Is inviting all Young Lasallians to be present and participate in the Jubilee of Mercy

 

Everyone left the meeting with the desire to accomplish his/her tasks to the best of their abilityl and hoping that the future  will see an increasingly fuller involvement of young Lasallians in each district.
