Friends of the Earth Malta in collaboration with Malta School of Art are organising an informal workshops that facilitates communication between people from different generations and develop a relationship with each other, their imminent space and reflect on how a community space can tailor for people of all age groups in society. This event will be held on Saturday the 17th of February at the Malta School of Art in Valletta. 

Participants: The event is open for a maximum of 20 participants. 10 elderly people and 10 children between the age of 7 to 11. 

Workshop Outline: The workshop will be divided into two parts: a story-telling and discussion session and a more creative, and hands-on session where media such as paints and clay will be used.

9:00–10:30 — For the story telling and discussion part of the workshop we will work in smaller groups. The elderly participants will describe a place in Malta with the aid of photographs that they bring with them and share personal sentiment associated with the space, how the location changed with time and what was the community value of the space. The children will also share what they enjoy in community spaces and what they want to see more of in localities in Malta. From this sharing they will develop the key points of what an ideal space would be like to cater both for the elderly and for the younger generation.  

10:30–11:00 — 30min break will refreshments.
 
11:00–13:00 — Hands-on Session. We will be working in the groups and use paints and brushes to paint a map together of their ideal space that they have previously discussed.  We will also make items out of clay to make a 3D representation of the space in 3D.
 
These clay figures will then be baked at the school and will be returned to the participants on a later date as a keepsake of the workshop. 
 
Material:
Bring with you:
  • an old photo of a place in Malta which has personal value.
  • Paint Brushes that you may have.
We will be using poster paints, paper and clay (material will be provided)
