Boscolink
The social network that unites the entire Don Bosco Alumni networkContext
Main objective: to unite the entrepreneurial and personal fabric of Don Bosco Alumni.
At the beginning of its term of office, the current Confederal Executive made it a priority to reach out to the business world. Also in our meetings with the Rector Major, d. Ángel Fernández Artime, and the Inspectors of Spain have reiterated to us the opportunity that the Past Pupils Association has as a bridge between the Salesian Works and the world of work and for this it is essential to mobilize the Past Pupils (associated or not) who are in the world of work.
In some European countries, such as Slovakia, France and Malta, initiatives of this type have been developed and are called Plataforma Business. But in our case, BoscoLink simply wants to be a network of contacts. a network of contacts and a and an engine of solidarity and commitment with the Salesian Mission.
Why Boscolink and Boscolinks?
In this network of contacts, all its members have something in common.
In this network, all its members have something in common, Don Bosco, it is he who connects us, and it is his education that he has left in our lives and in our professional competence.
BoscoLinks, in plural wants to put the accent to generate, network. Networking among professionals allows us to progress at a technical level and to contribute our professional competence to the Salesian Mission; at the same time it allows us to help young people at the beginning of their professional life and other Past Pupils in need, as Don Bosco himself asked us to do.
Objectives
Professional contacts
BoscoLink aims to achieve the following objectives:
Generate a network of professional contacts of people who have been educated in a Salesian House and who can collaborate with each other.
To bring these professionals closer to the Salesian Works and Past Pupils Associations and to propose them solidarity actions adapted to their characteristics.
To create spaces for training and exchange of ideas for the human, Christian and Salesian development of people involved in the professional world.
Local groups and commissions
BoscoLink is not only a digital initiative, but also aims to generate face-to-face contacts at the local level and develop collaboration between professionals in the same field.
Local Groups: In order to promote the diffusion throughout the territory and the relationship with the Associations, upon reaching a minimum number of people, we will generate a Local Group, and in agreement with the local president and his Board, we will initiate periodic networking meetings.
Commissions: In order to achieve a greater professional interrelation, we should group people according to their knowledge and interest, so when we reach a certain number of professionals (number to be determined) we would create a Commission, in which we would put in contact all those who belong to the same sector.
What can you find on our website?
Interactive Map: where you will find all the business contacts of all those who are interested, and a simple way of professional contact.
Presentation videos: we would like to ask you to make short videos in which you present your company or professional action.
Discussion forums: every month we will launch a discussion topic on the website, so that a small debate can take place between professionals, on technical developments in the business world, management issues, administration, human resources.
Webinar: some online training may be organized, in coordination with the training committee, on some of the most relevant topics.
