Abstract

Pedagogical reflection has always been associated with the conviction that upbringing is an art and it requires a special kind of sensitivity, innovative activities and creative engagement. Don Bosco’s upbringing system, in which specific resources are reason, religion and a loving upbringing, appoints for educators and students an attitude of witness to religious life and openness to religious values. This system is characterized by five main elements: concreteness, deep spirituality, universalism, a wide openness to multiple recipients, and the possibility of engaging many co-workers. The preventive system is called «a spiritual experience», and not only pedagogy. Spirituality as a human disposition represents a potential which can be developed throughout one’s entire life.
