Last Saturday, we attended the Take It to the Streets event organised by the Malta Street Sports Alliance at Ġnien Tony Bezzina in Paola. It was fantastic to see so many talented children and young people showing off their skills, from breakdance battles to impressive tricks on bikes and skateboards! A great community event celebrating street culture. Well done to everyone involved!

Is-Sibt li għadda attendejna l-attività Take It to the Streets, organizzata mill-Malta Street Sports Alliance fil-Ġnien Tony Bezzina, Raħal Ġdid. Kienet esperjenza sabiħa li naraw tant tfal u żgħażagħ b'talent juru l-ħiliet tagħhom, minn kompetizzjonijiet mimlijin enerġija tal-breakdance sa mossi spettakolari bir-roti u bl-iskateboards! Ċelebrazzjoni sabiħa tal- kultura taż-żgħażagħ. Prosit lil kull min ħa sehem u lil dawk kollha li organizzaw din l-attività!

Our first Book Club meeting was lovely! A big thank you to Joanne Ankum-Brinkman for taking the initiative to set it up! This is a wonderful example of a resident-led initiative, reflecting an asset-based approach to community development, where residents' skills, interests and ideas are recognised and encouraged to flourish. How does the Book Club work? Each month, we will choose a book to read and then come together to share our thoughts, exchange perspectives and enjoy a friendly discussion over a cup of tea! Everyone is welcome to join!
Next meeting: Thursday, 5th November
Time: 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Interested in joining? Call or text 99597533, or email [email protected].
We look forward to welcoming more book lovers to our growing community!

L-ewwel laqgħa tal-Book Club kienet tassew sabiħa!
Grazzi lil Joanne Ankum-Brinkman talli ħadet l-inizjattiva li twaqqaf dan il-klabb! Dan huwa eżempju mill-isbaħ ta’ inizjattiva mmexxija mir-residenti stess, li tirrifletti mod ta’ community development bbażat fuq il-ħiliet, it-talenti u r-riżorsi li diġà jeżistu fil-komunità. Permezz ta’ inizjattivi bħal dawn, l-ideat u l-interessi tar-residenti jiġu rikonoxxuti, apprezzati u mħeġġa jikbru. Kif se jaħdem il-Book Club? Kull xahar se nagħżlu ktieb, naqrawh u mbagħad niltaqgħu flimkien biex naqsmu l-ħsibijiet u l-opinjonijiet tagħna, niddiskutu perspettivi differenti u ngawdu taħdita sabiħa f’atmosfera ta’ ħbiberija. Kulħadd huwa mistieden jingħaqad magħna!
Il-laqgħa li jmiss: Il-Ħamis, 5 ta’ Novembru
Ħin: Mis-6:00 pm sas-7:30 pm
Tixtieq tingħaqad magħna? Ċempel jew ibgħat messaġġ fuq 99597533, jew ibgħat email fuq [email protected].

Kienet esperjenza sabiħa ħafna li naraw Plejbek, produzzjoni ta’ Yvette Grech Buhagiar, iffinanzjata mir-Reġjun Port, bl-appoġġ taċ-Ċentru Tbexbix u Żabbar Community Service. Kienet tassew esperjenza sabiħa u memorabbli, u kien speċjali ħafna li naraw lit-tfal u lill-anzjani jirreċtaw flimkien. L-element ta’ interġenerazzjonali għamel din l-esperjenza aktar sinifikanti, billi ġab flimkien ġenerazzjonijiet differenti permezz tat-teatru biex jaqsmu l-istejjer u l-esperjenzi tagħhom. Prosit u grazzi lil kull min kien involut f’din l-inizjattiva mill-isbaħ!

It was a lovely experience watching Plejbek produced by Yvette Grech Buhagiar and funded by Reġjun Port, with the support of Ċentru Tbexbix and Żabbar Community Service. It was such fun to watch, and especially lovely to see children and older adults acting together. The intergenerational element made it really special, bringing different generations together through theatre to share their stories. Well done to everyone involved!
