Salesian Expressive Education (2012)
I am a salesian educator and I want to spread the word to others. Your presentation of the preventive system is very easy to understand and is presented interestingly. Thank You.

Dear Peter,
Greetings from Salesian House in London.
I thank you for your work on the preventive system and the way it flows into a more expressive approach. It makes a lot of sense to me and helps to integrate the process of flourishing in the lives of young people with the more therapeutic early interventions of the preventive techniques. I have been asked to write material for our teachers on the preventive system and your work has been a great encouragement in making it more accessible to many of our more secularised teachers. Many thanks for all your work and thinking!

Hello Fr. Peter!
I wrote to you last year asking if we could reprint your article on "Don Bosco's Expressive System" in our Salesian Family newsletter...
Now I write to ask your permission to upload your papers, articles, submissions to our "Don Bosco Salesian Portal" https://DonBoscoSalesianPortal.org
Please let me know if this will be possible and we have your permission to do so.
Thanks so much and God bless!

"What is the relevance of the educational system of Don Bosco today? Peter's ('preventive-expressive' educational method of Don Bosco) is an example of a confrere wanting to know in our current world, in a communicative age, what is a good metaphor, a good word that will articolate the pedagogical intuition of Don Bosco precisely because we are in an age of the young that wants to discover, develop create ... You don't see them watching movies, you see them making movies; or they interact with video games... Is our system of education relevant to these kinds of young people... the so called Millennials ? And this is what we are trying to do, and Peter, I saw your work to be very relevant to our topic. Thank You."
