Pitch 1 - BirdLife Malta
A wildlife window: Connecting with nature
The project seeks to connect children with nature by installing bird feeders equipped with live-streaming cameras in schools and attaching GPS tags to rehabilitated birds. This initiative allows communities to observe and engage with birds' journeys, promoting conservation and environmental awareness. Engaging with nature enhances children's cognitive and emotional development, fostering environmental stewardship. By supporting this project, we can nurture a generation of future leaders that value and protect our natural world.
Pitch 2 - Embrace Diversity
Post-Secondary Education Program for Youths with Disabilities
This new program is designed to support young adults over the age of 16 with mixed abilities who have completed secondary school. It aims to bridge the gap in the education system by offering a structured and personalized program that focuses on effective communication, social skills, and independent living. Through a combination of skill development, community integration, and physical education, the project helps participants build confidence and navigate adulthood with greater independence. Monthly outings provide opportunities for social engagement, while mentorship and professional training contribute to cognitive and personal growth. With a vision to expand into a full-time, non-formal educational program, the project also fosters a sense of community and offers vital support to families in Malta.
Pitch 3 - National Youth Council of Malta (KNŻ)
Smart Money: Building Our Future
This youth-focused initiative aims to address the financial literacy gap in Malta. With nearly half the population struggling with financial planning, poor money management often leads to stress, anxiety, and financial instability. Young people, in particular, face challenges due to the lack of financial education in the formal school system, making them vulnerable to costly mistakes. To combat this issue, the project offers a multi-faceted approach that includes in-person workshops, a digital financial toolkit, and advocacy efforts to promote policy changes. By equipping young individuals with the knowledge and tools to make informed financial decisions, the initiative seeks to prevent future economic hardship and build a more financially secure Malta.
