Don Bosco’s famous words “Education is a matter of the heart” truly sums up his method of education and approach to the young. His method, called the Preventive System is based on three keywords: Reason, Religion, and Loving Kindness. From this basis, we see the relationships that John Bosco encouraged: the educator seeks to make oneself loved, takes the young where they are, believes in their capacity for good, wishes to be with them. As Salesian educators, we show our love for the young in two ways: the Preventive System (relationships, the way we relate to young people) and the Oratory Model (experiences, those that we create for the young people). What sets Salesian education apart from other ways or systems of education is the fact that relationships are of prime importance in the Salesian educational process. Don Bosco’s motto of forming Good Christians and Honest Citizens sums up his long-term aim for the well-being of the young people. Whether we are ministering within a classroom, a parish, a holiday camp, the oratory, a sport event, a seminar, the Preventive System’s three core values of reason, religion and loving-kindness form the basis for our style of approaching relationships and mission.
