Other stands portray the Tourist Sector of Gozo, the culture of Gozo, Mgarr Xini Regional Park and Eco-Gozo Projects.
Gozitan talent was also present throughout the day with the band Beyond Return and the DJs Wobis Duo entertained the students.
Gozo band, the Divine Sinners will be playing live on Campus as part of ‘Gozo Week,’ on Thursday at around 10am. They will be playing many of their original numbers as well as other piceces.
The Labour Leader, Joseph Muscat visited the stand yesterday. During his visit he discussed with Gozitan students the various problems that they incur, such as the commute, which is sometimes daily, high rental costs for accommodation and sitting for examinations in Malta rather than Gozo.
Dr Muscat said that unemployment in Gozo was a big problem and that the Labour Party would aim to create enough jobs for Gozitans who wished to work on the island.
GUG’s aim is to promote Gozitan Culture and society to highest levels and with that in mind a new subject has been ncluded in the Degree Plus Field ‘Gozitan Studies.’ This will be launced during ‘Gozo Week,’ when the first lecture also being held. “This will be the first official course on the subject of Gozo,” GUG said.
GUG President Ryan Mercieca said that he would like to thank all the sponsors without whom this event could not take place, particularly the Ministry for Gozo and Eco-Gozo for believing in this event, Gozo Culture, Legend Real Estate, Gozo Tourism Association, Jubilee Foods, Xewkija Local Council and the Gozo Business Chamber.
