SOAR represents a decade of service to the great courage of female survivors of domestic violence and their determination to overcome major obstacles in the system.

Pitch 3 - Malta Paralympic Committee
I'mPOSSIBLE
I'mPOSSIBLE is Malta Paralympic Committee's flagship educational programme. Now in its second year running, I'mPOSSIBLE aims to challenge and change the perceptions of how young people perceive individuals with an impairment. I'mPOSSIBLE aspires to empower students to equip themselves to achieve the seemingly impossible through the Paralympic values of courage, determination, inspiration and equality. This aspiration is achieved through the combination of in-classroom lessons, inclusive P.E. lessons and other fun and educational activities through which students engage with Para sport and Para athletes. Through this programme, MPC is driving a culture shift for our upcoming generations, with the ambition of shaping a more inclusive society.

Pitch 6 - Friends of the Earth Malta
Restoration of the old bakery in Comino
Help us turn il-Forn ta’ Kemmuna (Comino’s Old bakery) into a hub of sustainability! Back in the 90s, our director Martin stumbled upon an old bakery in Comino. He dreamt up a vision to one day turn it into an interpretation centre for the island, creating room for education about sustainability and a not-for-profit space for workshops, overnight stays and retreats with a functioning oven again! Fast forward 30-odd years and the island is begging for a hub of sustainability which complements its natural beauty, its cultural heritage and educates the general public about why it’s worthy of protection. In its final form, the bakery will become an environmental utopia which is completely self-sustaining, but we need to start with the basics, such as installing essential facilities, electricity and a bathroom.
Pitch 7 - Dance Beyond Borders
Refugee Week Malta
Dance Beyond Borders Foundation believes in the power of the arts for social change; it connects people from diverse backgrounds to create a more integrated community. One of the ways it does this is through Refugee Week Malta; the local edition of the international festival that celebrates the creativity, contributions and resilience of people seeking refuge. Through education, artistic, and community events, it encourages people to put compassion into action by interacting with individuals beyond labels. This festival nurtures a culture of care and represents a Movement of Welcome of a more united community amongst all people living in Malta.
