Invitation to remember African Youth Day

Dear Bishops, Priests, Religious Brothers and Sisters and all people of Goodwill

Greetings from the IMBISA Secretariat!
IMBISA Secretariat invites you to an online session on African Youth Day, 1 November 2023 from 11h00 to 12h00 (Harare time). The theme of the gathering:

Who am I? Where am I going?

Digital migration of young people today

Young people are reminded of Christus Vivit, where Pope Francis wrote about these questions that young people asked in the run up to the synod of 2018. ” “For many people, immersion in the virtual world has brought about a kind of “digital migration”, involving withdrawal from their families and their cultural and religious values, and entrance into a world of loneliness and of self-invention, with the result that they feel rootless even while remaining physically in one place. The fresh and exuberant lives of young people who want to affirm their personality today confront a new challenge: that of interacting with a real and virtual world that they enter alone, as if setting foot on an undiscovered global continent.”
