The event as in pervious years was organised by the OASI Foundation in collaboration with HSBC foundation.
The OASI Foundation main focus is the overall well-being of citizens in Malta and Gozo. Keeping children healthy and exposing them to healthy activities through nonformal education such as today’s event, is crucial for their development. Such exposure is directly linked to better mental health, to relax, improve self-confidence and socialise.
27 youths joined this event whose ages ranged from 8 to 12. Youths toured around the Dwejra Marine Environmental Education Centre which provided edutainment including insight into the fauna and flora found around Dwejra. They also had a boat ride around the caves that connects the Inland Sea to the Open Mediterranean Sea. The boat trip gives one a view of the towering cliffs and caves.
Back at OASI, a session was delivered by ERRC. This consisted of very insightful information presented
by Andre Bonnici. The children engaged and asked many questions, which were all answered in due course.
As the children set around the table, a gratitude prayer was said, and soon after they had their lunch.
Children had the opportunity to evaluate the learning experience through a visual feedback sheet.
The OASI Foundation would like to thank HSBC Malta Foundation for the sponsorship along the years,
as without its help, such an activity would not be possible. The OASI Foundation wants to show their appreciation towards the Dwejra boat ride organisers who
have generously offered the youngsters with an eventful and insightful Dwejra ride. Last but not least the OASI foundation thanks deeply the volunteers whom without them this event would not be possible.
