We are incredibly honoured to be participating in this year's Cospicua Short Play Festival with A Bird's Odyssey 🎭

This piece looks at birds and their journey as a reflection of our own journey.

In their flight we see freedom, in their migration resistance, and in their return that quiet pull towards home. Because perhaps home is not just a place, but a direction, and a bird’s odyssey is, in many ways, our own.

This production is being supported by the Port Regional Council and the Bormla Local Council

🎭 Cospicua Short Play Festival 2026
📅 18th + 19th September 2026
🕢 7:30pm to 10pm

Aħna onorati immens li qed nipparteċipaw fil-Festival ta' Drammi Qosra ta' Cospicua ta' din is-sena b'A Bird's Odyssey 🎭

Din il-biċċa xogħol tħares lejn l-għasafar u l-vjaġġ tagħhom bħala riflessjoni tal-vjaġġ tagħna stess.

Fit-titjira tagħhom naraw il-libertà, fir-reżistenza għall-migrazzjoni tagħhom, u fir-ritorn tagħhom dik il-ġibda kwieta lejn id-dar. Għax forsi d-dar mhix biss post, iżda direzzjoni, u l-odissea ta' għasfur hija, f'ħafna modi, tagħna stess.

Din il-produzzjoni qed tiġi appoġġjata mill-Kunsill Reġjonali Port u l-Kunsill Lokali ta' Bormla

We love seeing initiatives that champion potential and give young people the space to shine. 💙✨

For the second summer in a row, the Edward de Bono Institute - University of Malta run its Creative Minds programme, which is a 7-week initiative where eight young people with disabilities explored performing arts and entrepreneurial skills.

With support from 11 educators and partners like The Malta Trust Foundation, participants built confidence, expressed their creativity, and crafted their own items to sell.

Seeing these teenagers step up and perform with confidence is what true inclusion is all about. 💛

🛍️ Show your support by checking out and purchasing the items created by these talented participants at the Eco Market on 8th September at Pjazza Tritoni!

Huge congratulations to Prof. Margaret Mangion, our very own Ilona Baldacchino, all the young participants, educators, and organisers involved! 👏🎨

Inħobbu naraw inizjattivi li jippromwovu l-potenzjal u jagħtu liż-żgħażagħ l-ispazju biex jesploraw. 💙✨

Għat-tieni sajf konsekuttiv, l-Istitut Edward de Bono fl-Università ta' Malta mexxa l-programm tiegħu; Creative Minds, li hija inizjattiva ta' 7 ġimgħat fejn tmien żgħażagħ b'diżabilità esploraw l-arti performattiva u l-ħiliet intraprenditorjali.

Bl-appoġġ ta' 11-il edukatur u sieħeb bħall-Malta Trust Foundation, il-parteċipanti bnew il-kunfidenza, esprimew il-kreattività tagħhom, u ħolqu l-oġġetti tagħhom stess biex ibigħu.

Li tara lil dawn l-adolexxenti jagħmlu progress u jwettqu b'kunfidenza hija x'inhi l-inklużjoni vera. 💛

🛍️ Uri l-appoġġ tiegħek billi tiċċekkja u tixtri l-oġġetti maħluqa minn dawn il-parteċipanti b'talent fl-Eco Market fit-8 ta' Settembru fi Pjazza Tritoni!

Prosit kbira lill-Prof. Margaret Mangion, lill-Ilona Baldacchino, il-parteċipanti żgħażagħ kollha, lill-edukaturi, u lill-organizzaturi involuti! 👏🎨

Għat-tieni sajf konsekuttiv, Edward de Bono Institute fl-Universita' ta' Malta organizza programm ta' seba' ġimgħat għal żgħażagħ b'diżabbilità.

Access to the arts should be universal.
We make sure the doors are open.

This is Opening Doors.

L-aċċess għall-arti għandu jkun universali.
Aħna niżguraw li l-bibien ikunu miftuħa.

Dan huwa Opening Doors.
