The 27th edition of Evenings on Campus, that will last until August 11, will have a programme catered for a spectrum of followers. 

“This year’s programme includes a blend of drama, dance, literature, culture, cinema and interesting talks. Some of the events, including talks on the relevance of the full-moon, and about the science of whiskey, as well as the short films evening, are free of charge. Instead, those attending are encouraged to make a donation to RIDT, the Research, Innovation and Development Trust of the University of Malta” said KKU (Koperattiva Kulturali Universitarja) president, Pierre Cassar. 

“We strive to be different from mainstream cultural activity and we rely on people’s support to keep this event going. So, whether you are interested in learning something new, looking forward to a good laugh or simply seeking to spend an enjoyable evening in the company of like-minded individuals, Evenings on Campus should be on top of your agenda.”
