The event was held online; the opening speech was given by Fransisco Sanchez, inspector of salesians in Ecuador and the chancellor of Universidad Politecnica Salesiana. He stated that "dance, music, poetry, theater and sports educate honest citizens and good Christians. Don Bosco is the reason we exist and that is why we have celebrations to honor him".

UPS president Juan Cardenas asked participants to "use their artistic expressions to demonstrate their salesian spirit". Maria Sol Villagomez, vice president of the university's branch campus in Quito thanked all the participating universities for taking part in the festival.
