Last December, Europe Direct Gozo in collaboration with Nature Trust – FEE Malta held their awards event for schools [1] participating in the annual Europe Direct Gozo Eco-Schools/YRE/LEAF Project, for which six schools participated.
Gozo College Secondary School, was awarded first prize for their campaigning for reusable masks and proper disposal of disposable masks.
The school was presented with €500 worth of materials for the students to decorate the school corridors with murals containing sustainability related messages – sponsored by Bank of Valletta.
The Gozo College Secondary School, has utilised the winning prize, and the murals are now in place along the corridors.
Europe Direct Gozo said that the concept behind these symbolic paintings on three large panels was to create visual elements that impart messages related to integration of people from different countries, the acceptance of different cultural practices and adoption of social values such as respect for diversity, tolerance and inclusion.
