自歐洲聯會成為一個非政府組織世界性網絡後，這已是第二次大會了，同時總部亦從波恩遷往羅馬。大會主席為Françoise Leonarde夫人，與會者包括來自八個支援慈幼會服務事業的十八名代表、總部傳教議員賢明漢神父以及傳教辦公室暨非政府組織總部委員Stanislaw Rafalko神父。 大會開始之前的早上，八個非政府組織舉行內部研討會，探討一些使網絡進行更有效率的方法。各成員尋求方法，改善服務事業的支援工作，尤其在一些有關服務事業的發展，以及對各國服務事業的對象更深入了解的方面上。 討論議題還包括：資訊及良好實踐經驗的分享、發展一套對各計劃的審批作辨別、管理、報告及評估的共通程序、鮑思高網絡與傳教辦公室的關係，以及在推動、宣傳、支援各活動上，發展合作關係。 有關海地支援計劃的分析環節，尤其受到與會者特別關注，所有網絡成員均投身有關計劃的前線工作，這可作為未來合作支援計劃的起點。 被確認為令成員們的努力更有效行動方式有：由非政府組織所執行，在德國、意大利、比利時及西班牙數百間公立學校進行的發展 — 團結教育；透過新媒體，以「e-教學」及「社會網絡」模式進行遙距教學，並向街童的社會教育領域方面；人權教育以及對發展的合作教育，這在數以千計慈幼學校學生中進行著。 下午舉行新數碼平台 (http://www.donbosconetwork.org)的啟用儀式，平台由鮑思高網絡主席Milly Grillone夫人開發及管理。平台負責鮑思高網絡活動的對外宣傳工作，以及內部資訊交換的功能，藉此互相分享教育計劃文件及資料庫，以及有關一百多個國家不同教育計劃的新聞及資料。大會亦同意根據不同團體及地域的情況，透過視像會議等的方式，強化團體之間的協作力。 最後，大會更新了鮑思高網絡的徽號。 此外，十月十五日至十七日，在羅馬慈幼賓館 Salesianum 亦會舉行與慈幼會有連繫的非政府組織的會議，作為互相分享一些共通原則及良好實踐經驗，並使之更切合實際的機會。 II General Assembly of Don Bosco Network (ANS – RMG – Rome, 14 October 2010) – Yesterday, Wednesday 13 October, at the Salesianum in the Generalate the II General Assembly was held of the Don Bosco Network (DBN), the executive committee of the World Federation which meets every six months. It considered the future aims of the individual NGO and potential areas for joint work in the various contexts of the mission and of education. It was the II Assembly held since the European Federation became a World-wide Network of NGO, and at the same time transferred its headquarters from Bonn to Rome. Taking part in the meeting chaired by the President, Mrs. Françoise Leonarde, were 18 representatives of the 8 organisations involved in supporting the Salesian Missions as well as Fr Vacláv Klement, Councillor for the Mission, and Fr Stanislaw Rafalko, Delegate for the Mission Offices and the NGO. The morning was spent identifying some ways of making the net-work process more effective on the basis of an internal enquiry of the 8 NGO carried out before the General Assembly. The members were looking for ways of improving the quality of the help provided for the missions, but especially for arriving at common ideas about development and the ways of relating better to those who at the receiving end in the various countries. Among the subjects considered were that of the sharing of information and of good practice; the development of common procedures in order to identify, monitor, report on and evaluate projects; relationships between DBN and the Mission Offices; the development of joint action in the initiation, promotion and patronage of events. Special attention was given to an analysis of the plan for aid to Haiti, where all the members of the Network are engaged on the front line, which could serve as a starting point for future common aid projects. Among forms of good practice identified to make the efforts of the members more effective were the education to development–solidarity carried out by the NGO in hundreds of public schools in Germany, Italy, Belgium and Spain; education at a distance through the new media, in the form of ’“e-learning” and of “social networking” and in the field of social education for street children; education to human rights and to cooperation for development in which thousands of Salesian Past Pupils are already engaged. In the afternoon there was the presentation of the new digital platform, (www.donbosconetwork.org) developed and administered by the Director General of the DBN, Mrs Milly Grillone. It will serve both to publicise the activities of the DBN to the outside and to facilitate the exchange of information on the inside, sharing documents connected with educational programmes, the common database and news and information about the numerous projects being carried out in over 100 countries. The Assembly also agreed that to foster greater synergy among the groups, according to the sectors and the geographical areas, use could be made of a system of video conferencing. Finally the General Assembly chose the new logo for DBN. In addition, between Friday 15 and Sunday 17 October, also at the Salesianum in Rome, there will be a meeting of the Salesian-associated NGO, with the purpose of sharing more and making more practical the common principles and examples of good practice. |
