The Gozo Youth Council has called for a youth hub to be opened on the island. The GYC stressed the importance of a youth hub, “saying that it would be incorporated in the heart of the youth on a day to day basis.”

“One only has to look at the flourishing success of youth hubs in Malta. They are not only a meeting place for the youths, but they also provide them with an alternative way of spending their free time, provide opportunities in other areas, hence helping to prevent the possibility of alcohol and other substance abuse,” the Gozo Youth Council said.

The GYC also said that it would like to express its gratitude towards youth empowerment and youth activism in Gozo. “The work carried out by the various NGOs is vital towards holistically tackling the various issues for youth on the island.”

The Gozo Youth Council stated that its work towards these aims “is beginning to bear fruit, with the Gozo youth debate and iLead the Creative leadership academy, attracting youths from different walks of life.”
