Video of the Bicentenary Anthem of Don Bosco’s Childhood Dream and Official Anthem for the Salesian Youth Synod

Messina, Catania – April 2024 – The Salesian Province of Sicily (ISI), through the Salesian Social Communication Office in Sicily, has produced and published the video clip of the hymn of the bicentenary of Don Bosco’s childhood dream entitled “In the shape of your dream.” The song was also chosen as the official anthem for the Salesian Youth Synod scheduled from August 11-16 at Colle Don Bosco, near Castelnuovo Don Bosco, by a Central Commission of young people from all over the world. The video “In the shape of your dream” seeks to be a key to today’s interpretation of the dream at nine years of age. A boy representing young John has a dream and discovers, through a series of clues and encounters, that the dream is his mission: to educate young people! A series of origami is the common thread of the story, in particular one, the pelican, which, taking up the idea of sacrifice in the Christian context, indicates to the boy to give himself fully and lovingly for the salvation of every young person. Numerous people participated in the making of the video, including Salesians, young people, Salesian communities, professionals and companies that supported the production.
