Four University of Malta students have taken part in the Erasmus project Shape2Gether, which included a visit to Gozo.
The University said that Prof. P. Pace, Dr M. Musumeci, and Prof. M. Mifsud were also present during the week-long project.
The participants visited Dwejra, Qala, as well as the Citadel in Victoria during their three-day visit to Gozo.
Shape2Gether is a European project that aims to encourage a deeper understanding of environmental issues using new technologies and methodologies. The group included students and professors from six universities in Europe.
The project members also spent two days at the University of Malta campus to work on different projects using various mediums to promote awareness of a number of environmental causes.
The students had the opportunity to participate in a collaborative event with Nature Trust Malta, which involved cleaning up the beach at Gnejna. Three turtles that were previously rescued by Nature Trust were returned to the sea after rehabilitation.
The university of Malta explained that apart from contributing to geoscientific tasks, the participants were also engaged in a rewarding cultural and historical journey. “As a result of the shared experiences, the group members from various cultures have forged new friendships.”
UM said the this project was in October 2024 and the students on the project were C.A. Cuschieri, E. Nikolopoulou, L. Sajan and D. Degiorgio.
