Dun Guzepp Zammit Boys' Junior Lyceum (Liceo, Hamrun), have been involved in a Networked Learning Community project, involving six Maltese schools and six English schools, known as the EXCEL network.

EXCEL stands for Excellence through Collaboration and Enabling Leadership. Collaboration is the key word of the arts project since each participating school has been working together to come up with a production, the title of which is "Cultural Identity". These two words were the starting point of several months of laborious work, which will ultimately lead to a final performance involving four schools: Liceo, Carlo Diacono JL (Zejtun), Hanham High and Sir Bernard Lovell.

The first part of the project involved the taking of photos that best represent Maltese cultural identity. The next step involved the selection of the same photos from the numerous ones taken by the students, which were then downloaded into the media library found in the Extranet. A further selection took place reducing the number of photos to 24, which were then exhibited both at the Liceo school foyer and Carlo Diacono school and also at the Education Division.

Several number of randomly chosen students were asked to write down their comments about the photos. The students' written observations provided a guide to the main chosen themes for the actual performance. During break time, the chosen students pursued a set of workshops and then started working on the actual acting. Not surprisingly, religious themes including village feasts, Carnival and other local traditions were chosen as the principal ingredients by the Liceo students for their production.

The Maltese students went to Bristol on May 5 to rehearse their theatrical piece together with that of the English students from Hanham High and Sir Bernard Lovell, to combine all the segments together. The whole performance will eventually be acted out in the UK. They returned to Malta a week later accompanied by the English students to perform at Mgarr primary school, Carlo Diacono Girls' JL and at the Liceo.
