(ANS – Salvador) – Inspired by Don Bosco's evangelical forthrightness, the two Salesian colleges in Salvador (Bahia) on August 15, during festivities for Don Bosco, launched an educational internal network of TV channels, called "Salé Communications" (Salesian College Salvador) and "SDB News" (Don Bosco College). The names for these educational projects were chosen by the students themselves.

The content concerns educational, cultural, sporting, eco-friendly and pastoral activities, as well as good journalistic content chosen by two press agencies, but involving the youngsters.

As well as the new internal TV, these 'educommunicational' activities in Salvador are already working on video production, radio programmes and coverage of events which are integrated with the educational and pastoral work of the school. “While they are producing they are also analysing,  critiquing, feeling the power of decision-making,  and making choices. So the product is not the most important thing but the whole construction”, explains Gigliola Sena, in charge of communications for the two schools and coordinator for the projects

The internal TV serves as an important "audiovisual window" for the two schools and their students, teachers, staff, parents and visitors, on average then around two thousand individuals attending the two schools on a daily basis.
