The aim was to strengthen their mission and provide tools to help them understand and engage with young people today, always from the perspective of the charism of Hospitality.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"838\"><strong data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"838\">Who are young people today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"1119\">\u201cWho are young people today?\u201d was the theme of the first day, on September 3. The formation responded to a specific need: understanding the social and cultural changes that have shaped the new generations and recognising how these changes can influence the way we relate to them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1472\">There is a generational difference between the Sisters, lay people and young people which can sometimes become a barrier. There may also be prejudices or preconceived ideas. The day invited participants to look at young people with a new attitude, seeking to see the most positive aspects and to understand their way of living and relating to reality.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1747\">This positive outlook emerged in the final evaluation: young people are wonderful people, protagonists of the present and the future, who also live in particular contexts and face many challenges. There is a need to listen to them in order to understand and accompany them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1809\"><strong data-start=\"1749\" data-end=\"1809\">The importance of processes within our pastoral planning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"1926\">The second day, on September 4, addressed the theme \u201c<strong data-start=\"1864\" data-end=\"1924\">The importance of processes within our pastoral planning<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1928\" data-end=\"2089\">On this occasion, the reflection focused on the need to continue advancing in pastoral planning and in coordinating the initiatives developed at the local level.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2382\">One of the challenges identified is precisely to move from one-off proposals aimed at young people towards pastoral processes capable of creating a genuine journey of accompaniment. To achieve this, it is essential to have planning that supports the different structures and local realities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2727\">The final evaluations highlighted the need to learn how to approach and accompany the new generations more effectively, as well as to create a general planning model that can be adapted locally. In this regard, formation spaces are an opportunity to better prepare those who have this great responsibility within Youth and Vocational Ministry.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2729\" data-end=\"2964\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">This journey of renewal does not end with these two days. On October 1 and 2, two new formation days will take place, allowing participants to explore the topics addressed in greater depth and continue sharing challenges and proposals.<\/p>\n<p><br
