BoscoNet, the Delhi-based organization involved in raising
resources for supporting Don Bosco works throughout India, held a training
programme at Sumedha Centre from April 30 to May 4. 2019.
The participants were the staff from BoscoNet’s New Delhi
office, leaders of BoscoNet teams from Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkota, Mumbai,
Pune, and Trichy and the Salesian Directors of BoscoNet. There were 15 in all.
The first evening was devoted to introductions and learning
to get to know one another.
The second day was devoted to Team-Building sessions. These

of the characteristics and dynamics of effective teams and helped participants analyze their own teams and strategise to enhance their effectiveness.
The training was well appreciated by the participants. Some
