The Gozo Cultural Council within the Ministry for Gozo launched it’s art scheme targeted for year 5 primary children from 14 Gozo schools.
The scheme, known as ‘Know Your Skills in the Arts’ aims at encouraging our younger students to participate in extra curricular activities through the arts, thus giving them opportunities to develop and share their abilities in their environment.
Gozo’s Minister, Dr Anton Refalo presided the launch, which took place at the Banca Giuratale, Victoria, and stressed the importance of involving our younger students in such events. He thanked the school heads attending the launch for their unqualified care and attention towards their students in all Gozo schools.
The participating schools and students were each presented with an art kit to help towards expenses in this initiative.
Students will be painting original ideas with the theme ‘The joy of Christmas’ as the subject. A selection board will later choose the best entries from amongst the 240 participating students. The best students will then enter the 2nd phase of the scheme targeted for Easter time.
