【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2012 年 5 月 21 日羅馬慈幼總部訊】 ─ 世界各地不同版本的鮑思高家庭通訊的負責人，於五月十七日聚集於羅馬舉行會議，並以兩個工作環節作結：造訪羅馬觀察報和梵蒂岡出版社，以及訂定一些共同工作承諾。

鮑思高家庭通訊各負責人的工作十分緊湊。在星期四及星期五，舉行了一連串有關不同題目的發佈會，一些鮑思高家庭通訊的負責人在禮堂分享經驗，並有小組工作及辯論會。此外，會議亦專注探討鮑思高家庭通訊的身份及目標，除了注意以嶄新的延續及忠貞符合創辦人鮑思高神父的願景外，尤其專注通訊如何臨現於互聯網上。

慈幼會修士Jesus Garcia在發表題為「邁向機構的數碼新聞工作：鮑思高家庭通訊所面對的挑戰與機遇」的演說中表示：「然而我們不能再單純以『傳統』媒體形式，探討鮑思高家庭通訊這份鮑思高神父以活力創辦的傳意媒體：我們需要演進。讀者已經演進，傳意產品消費方式已經演進，鮑思高家庭通訊所能涵蓋的一切亦已演進……與鮑思高神父及與時代一起。」

工作速度在星期六早上看似緩慢下來。與會者前往參觀羅馬觀察報、梵蒂岡出版社及梵蒂岡花園，各鮑思高家庭通訊的負責人與負責羅馬觀察報編輯工作的梵蒂岡出版社總負責人Sergio Pellini神父，以及副負責人Carlo Di Cicco神父會面。他們向參觀者講解羅馬觀察報的歷史、組織架構及更新進度。

下午，他們進行會議結束部份的實際討論環節。未來數年的鮑思高家庭通訊，將致力於一些共同重大事件的編輯首要報導版面，例如第二十七屆全會代表大會、鮑思高神父誕辰二百週年紀念，以配合總會長的進路──認識鮑思高神父的生平、預防教育法及神修─以及歐洲計劃和鮑聖聖觸在古老大洲的朝聖旅程。

有關數碼傳意方面，因應一些已有的經驗，建議了進一步邁向數碼媒體的進路，展望「鮑思高家庭網絡通訊」，專注其身份及定位，與印刷版本的關係以及目標讀者，並果斷地邁向語意網絡與既有機構的網站相互協力的局面。

鮑思高家庭通訊各負責人，都樂意分享世界各地不同版本通訊內裡的富饒，並期待互相對話，建立傳意網絡，透過鮑思高家庭通訊的流傳，使大眾廣泛留意，使慈幼會士更為深刻的策勵一面得以宣揚。

主日早上的會議，限於歐洲的鮑思高家庭通訊負責人。部份大家庭通訊版本，已著力於有關歐洲計劃的資訊及宣傳，計劃於三年前由慈幼會總部議會正式展開。會議中亦建議加強國家或會省內，包括鮑思高家庭通訊在內各傳意媒體的合作。

Conclusion of the meeting of Directors of the Salesian Bulletin

(ANS - RMG –Rome, 21 May 2012) – The meeting of the Directors of the various editions  of the Salesian Bulletin (SB), gathered in Rome from May 17, concluded with two assignments: a visit to the Osservatore Romano and  Vatican Press and the definition of some common working commitments.

The work of the Directors of the SB was intense.  On Thursday and Friday there was a series of addresses on various topics, presentations of the experiences of  several SBs, group work  and general debates in the hall. Besides a renewed attention to continuity and fidelity of the SB to its identity and purpose, as desired by its founder Don Bosco, particular attention was paid to the presence of the SB ion the internet.

“But we cannot continue thinking of the Salesian Bulletin, a communications activity launched by Don Bosco himself, as just a ‘traditional’ medium:  it needs to evolve”, said the Salesian coadjutor Jesus Garcia, who presented the theme ‘Towards an institutional digital journalism: Challenges and opportunities for the Salesian Bulletin’. – “Its readers have evolved, ways of consuming communication products have evolved, whatever the Salesian Bulletin makes possible has evolved...with Don Bosco and with the times”.

The rhythm of work eased up on Saturday morning, but only apparently.  On the occasion of a guided visit to the Osservatore Romano, the Vatican Press and the Vatican gardens, the Directors of the SB met Fr.  Sergio Pellini, Director  General of the Vatican Press – which edits the Osservatore Romano – and Dr.  Carlo Di Cicco, the vice-director. They explained the history, organizational structure and renewal process of the Osservatore Romano.

In the afternoon the practical conclusions were drawn up. The next few years will see the SBs committed to several  common leading editorial fronts, such as the 27th General Chapter, the Bicentenary of the birth of Don Bosco, along the path indicated by the Rector Major – history, educational method and spirituality of the saint – Project Europe and the pilgrimage of the casket in the old continent.

Regarding digital communication, in the light of some experiences already in action, a further step towards  digital communication was recommended, looking to a “Salesian Webulletin, paying attention to  the identity, positioning, the relation to the printed edition and to the target, moving decisively towards the semantic web in synergy with institutional websites.

The Directors of the SB were keen to share the riches of the various editions across the world, looking for increased dialogue between them, setting up a net of communication and, finally, to promote a more intense animation of the Salesians towards greater awareness and spread of the SB.

On Sunday morning the meeting was restricted to the Directors of the SB from Europe. Some editions of the SB are already offering a significant contribution to information and awareness about Project Europe, launched officially three years ago by the Salesian Congregation.  It was recommended also to activate teamwork between the various means of communication of a nation or Province, including the SB.
