Summer activities for children include theatre, workshops

A total of 1,000 children are attending various Skola Sajf centres throughout the island and taking part in theatrical activities and educational workshops organised at St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity.

The programme is sponsored by Bank of Valletta whose head of marketing integration, Cliff Pace, presented the sponsorship cheque to Chris Gatt, general manager at St James Cavalier.

Speaking during the sponsorship presentation, Mr Pace reiterated BOV's commitment to support educational activities meant to encourage the imagination and creative abilities as well as team work among the children.

"We are very proud to team up with St James Cavalier on this educational summer project for children. As an avid supporter of arts and culture in Malta, Bank of Valletta is fully aware of the important role that St James Cavalier plays since it fills an important gap in our cultural infrastructure."

The activities, organised by the Centre for Creativity Foundation, will be held throughout the summer months and will consist of three-hour sessions during which the children, directed by professional animators, will be exposed to different forms of art including classes for expressive theatre, workshops about theatre lighting and techniques and a variety of other activities for children between five and 10 years old.
