The student councils of Bishop’s Conservatory Secondary School, Sacred Heart Minor Seminary Gozo and Gozo College Middle School have received training through several workshops and activities based on the principles of democracy, leadership and participation.

The activity was held at the Ministry for Gozo Exhibition Hall and was led by Agenzija Zghazagh Manager Isabelle Mallia and Youth Worker Jennifer Cauchi.

The day was divided in three parts: Students Councils – Democracy in Practice, Skills for democratic leadership and Students Councils in Action – our plans.

Agenzija Zghazagh said that the young people participated actively in the workshops which included group discussions and tasks, a quiz, miming and a challenge.

The Councils were also presented with €150 each to fund Student Council activities.

Through the Student Councils Democracy Awards scheme, Agenzija Zghazagh explained that it aims to incentivise schools, involve students and invest in communities through supporting student councils in secondary schools to attain Democracy Awards for their schools.

Agenzija Zghazagh thanked the Ministry for Gozo and their staff for their assistance and letting them make use of the hall.

Agenzija Zghazagh was established in February 2011 to “promote the interests of young people and to provide assistance to youth organisations and young people in achieving their potential.”
