The 488th NBCLC Seminar in Tamil was held from May 10th to 14th, 2025. The seminar's focus was on Youth and Vatican II Renewal.

The seminar was attended by 60 participants from 14 dioceses across Tamil Nadu. The sessions were conducted by a team of 16 resource persons and animators. It is noted that the participant number was higher than usual due to a transition within the organizing team.

The seminar centered on the new world vision articulated by Vatican II. Key issues addressed included:
• The social analysis sessions highlighted a world often indifferent to the needs of its people, particularly widespread un- and underemployment, which limits people's purchasing power.

• Participants recognized the need to create a new world, inspired by the Spirit of Jesus, who transforms the world according to God’s Rule.

• The family was identified as the primary setting for nurturing this new world.

• The seminar aimed to empower youth to engage actively in social issues and to work towards eradicating casteism and gender oppression in India.

• The seminar emphasized that this transformation can only be achieved through a strong public opinion, shaped by transforming agents like Christians who transition from being passive consumers to active creators of media.

The seminar employed the "see, judge, act" methodology. This approach involved active participant engagement through:
• Group discussions
• Panel sessions
• Question and Answer sessions

This methodology facilitated a group-building process and fostered connections among the participants.

Spiritual formation was an integral part of the seminar, with the Eucharistic celebration serving as the central point.

The personal feedback indicates that a substantial number of participants found the seminar beneficial and expressed a firm commitment to follow-up activities. Furthermore, many participants have volunteered to join the Christian Renewal Movement of India.
