The Cittadella Centre was the venue for a display of artistic works by young students, held recently as part of the first phase of a project that was launched by the Gozo Cultural Council.
The project, known as ‘Skopri t-Talent Tieghek,’ involves year 5 primary students and is spread over a period of a year, with three different themes, Christmas, early Summer and Autumn.
Over 240 students from 14 schools in Gozo participated in this first scheme, with many ideas presented in various Christmas themes.
Gozo’s Minister Dr Anton Refalo, paid a visit to the event to view the works. Mr Guido Vella, Chairman of the Gozo Cultural Council and Mr Victor Galea, Principal Gozo College were also present.
In a short message Minister Refalo thanked all the participating schools for their interest in fostering the love of art in their students.
He offered all possible help to enable such initiatives to continue to be organised. He augured well for the 2nd phase of the scheme ‘Skopri t-Talent Tieghek,’ wishing every success to all participating students.
