3 fab mini clips on building communities!
We’re so happy to launch 3 fab mini clips that talk about integration and building communities!
The clips, partially financed by the EU in our project 2incING, capture one of our key messages: let’s stop treating migrants and refugees as objects to be managed and dealt with! Instead, let’s bring them into the discussions about their lives. Let’s listen to them. Let’s respect their identities. In doing so, our own communities get stronger, more resilient and more colourful.

Our project 2incING is all about strengthening and celebrating the voices of migrants and refugees. Why? Because, like everyone else, they are not passive subjects of our laws, our policies, our systems and our norms. They are active players in our communities who should have more control over their futures here in Malta. This video is all about celebrating their voices!
Our project tries to bring communities and Government closer together to talk, to listen, to engage and to commit to working together for a better place for all.

These deaths and injuries can be prevented if the Maltese State learns lessons from Jean Paul’s death. The questions that must be asked include whether Jean Paul Sofia’s death could have been prevented; whether there were and are systemic and administrative failures that are contributing to fatalities and injuries on construction sites; and how action can be taken to prevent such fatalities and injuries.
