The course ‘Dementia Caregiving in the Community’ will be delivered via Zoom, starting on November 7.

The course co-ordinator is Prof. Charles Scerri, a specialist in the behavioural, biochemical, neuropharmacological and social aspects of Alzheimer’s disease and associated dementias.

‘Introduction to Maltese Sign Language’ is a course of 12 two-hour sessions starting on November 23 and ending in February 2023 to be delivered in person at the Campus Hub, University of Malta, Msida. The course is aimed at anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of the Maltese language and communicating with deaf Maltese people.  It is open to the public and there is no need to have prior knowledge of sign language.
