(ANS – Rio de Janeiro) – In the lead up to World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro,  when there will be many Salesian events, the SYM in Brazil has launched a campaign entitled “Top Hits” to collect and publicize songs composed by young people who share the Salesian charism.

“Have you a song that you wrote inspired by your experience in a Salesìan group? Or one that has become a kind of anthem for your group? Why not let us know about it through the Top Hits campaign?”  That is the invitation on the Brazilian SYM website.

The idea of the “SYM Top Hits” campaign comes from the Communications Team of the World Meeting of the SYM. This will consist of three stages: the Pre-WYD, the Continental Meeting, and the SYM Festival.

The campaign hopes to collect and make available songs composed by young people who attend Salesian centres anywhere in the world, to give them an added sense of participation in the meeting and to give them a say in the organization. “These songs can also become part of the sound-track of the SYM Festival. Music is a language common to all young people, as well as being a characteristic of the Salesian charism” says Flavio Medeiros, a young man who is part of the SYM Communications Team.

If you are interested, fill in the online form on the Brazilian SYM website.
