Nationwide participation in the Valletta 2018 Cultural Programme

The Valletta 2018 Foundation together with the Parliamentary Secretariat for Local Government have announced a number of large-scale projects involving the participation of thousands of people in the run up to, and during 2018.

The projects include MewġaMużika, a large-scale community musical project inviting anyone interested to become a musician for one day; ‘Orfeo & Majnun’ (Lovers in the Sky) - a production which merges Western and Eastern mythologies involving workshops, puppet theatre, choirs, musicians and artists; the Valletta 2018 ‘space’ which is a moving venue for open-use by different communities; and Cabinet of the Futures – a project about playful and open-minded explorations of potential futures.

Various community projects such as Darba Waħda and Naqsam il-MUŻA have already travelled to various towns and villages across the islands, and will continue to do so during 2018. Currently, registration is open for participants for the Darba Waħda inter-generational project, in which youngsters and elderly people over the age of 60 come together to participate in activities such as drama, storytelling, music workshops, and games. Participants from the following localities may register at their respective local council: Attard, Lija, Balzan, Iklin, Xagħra (Gozo), Luqa, Qormi and Gudja.
