Abstract

The preventive system, which was not specified as a theory or concept by John Bosco himself, but precisely as a „system”, was created as a response to the educational needs related to the specific environment of 19th century Italy. He raised generations of youth in his unique style based on reason, religion, dialogue, and educational love. With the 200th anniversary of the birth of John Bosco, we can say that his pedagogical rules are not only linked with the past. The original values inherent in his preventive system need deepening, adaptation, and skilful and courageous renewal because of the changed social, educational, and pastoral context.
